Interesting requirements those darn Scots have imposed. They would make perfectly good sense if one were to exclude the muzzle velocity requirements (as the English have), which are just high enough to exclude many a fine hunting round. Apparently, some game department twit has decided that, say, the .458 Winchester Magnum's 500 grain bullet, pushed along at a leisurely 2150 fps, might not kill something as tough as a roe deer. Even our ubiquitous .30-30, the quintessential deer round, would be excluded. Even the vaunted .375 H&H wouldn't make it with some factory 300 grain loads. *Sigh*

Oh, and by all means - post a picture; I would love to see it.
