Restrictions on possession of ammunition
91. (1) The holder of a licence to possess a firearm referred to in Chapter 6 may not
possess more than 200 cartridges for each firearm in respect of which he or she holds a
licence.
(2) The limitation in subsection (1) does not apply to—
(a) a dedicated hunter or dedicated sports person who holds a licence issued in
terms of this Act or any other holder of a licence issued in terms of this Act
authorised by the Registrar to possess more than 200 cartridges for a firearm
in respect of which he or she holds a licence on good cause shown; or
(b) the holder of a licence to possess a firearm issued in terms of this Act in respect
of ammunition bought and discharged at an accredited shooting range.

I do not have a law qualification, but nowhere in the above text does it specify you must have a S16 license before the clause of 91(1) falls away.
It does however state that the whole clause which restricts you to 200 rounds does not apply to a dedicated hunter or dedicated sports person who hold a license. (again, it does not state that the license MUST be S16.)

Last I checked my S13 and my S15 were issued in terms of the act... Mic?

It is how you interpret the law. Has it been tested in court? I think you might be in for a suprise.

It really isn't.

You are correct. But if you do not want to take any chances - our arrangement stands.

Thanks will. This question actually pre-empted my application for dedicated status with NHSA. But I should have it by then.

+1 - just need to read the section and you will see there is no interpretation involved, it says what it says.

I really need to finish my coffee in the morning and read the full post before asking further question... Please ignore this brainfart

It really isn't.

There is absolutely nothing to interpret. The act is clear, and as quoted above by Mic, the limit does not apply to a dedicated hunter or dedicated sports person who holds a licence issued in terms of the Act. A licence, not a specific licence. A sports PERSON and a dedicated HUNTER. No reference to specific firearms or licences, but reference to a person with a specific status.
