    I kind of doubt that. 22WRF ammo is as available as hens teeth...

    Yeah, adding to this, I have a license for a Brno Fox in 22H, and the license card states "22 HORNET RIFLE" under calibre.

    Bought it at ********* in Cape Town - they had CCI & Winchester in stock. Another time we had to order from Joburg (Nicholas Yale?) who had stock. Last time I checked ********* still had stock but that was probably 3 years ago. You just gotta know who & where to ask....

    Edit: Decided to remove the name of the gunshop for fear of incriminating them

    I have never been given any issues regarding the description vs the actual rifle
    I have bought ammo from various places and never had a problem
    Was seriously worried about it when i received the license but almost 10 jears later it dont bother me anymore.
    I have even been through a few road blocks with no problems

    That now is something quite interesting! Have you ever tried to correct it?

    I went to the license department after i received my card and spoken to them
    The basically told me that i either had to do a caliber change and then re apply for it or since the serial numbers etc is correct i should just leave it because according to them i gave the wrong info on my application
    Unfortunately for them i had a complete stamped copy of my original application and i showed them its not my fault. This hornet comes down from my grandfather and even when it was registered on my fathers name it was classified as a .22 long rifle, so on the police data base its a .22 long rifle.
    Was really stressed about it then because thats my working rifle and i literally have it in my bakkie with me at least 2 to 3 weeks a month on the farm
    I will see how to correct it with the re application coming up
