FMJ ammo on ranges is because of the way our law is written. Ammunition designed to expand is all section 5 (effectivly banned) this restriction can be lifted by specific permission for those who wish to hunt deer and have access/permission to do so on sutible land. Expanding ammunition is specifically precluded for target shooting, except for its use in zeroing a hunting rifle.

So perversly V-max ammo cannot be used on a range but A-max can.

Even more perversley we may not posess expanding ammunition in calibers for which no use exists within the united kingdom. So it is not legal to possess soft point in the large NE and rimless calibers unless you can get somebody to give you permission to hunt deer with them in the UK. And as most land does not have the safety distences required and most landowners will not allow deer to be shot over open sights it is almost impossible to get permission to have the ammo in your possession. It is not possible (specifically prohibited by law) to give permission for the possession of ammo to be used in another country even if the laws of that country permit it, if such ammo cannot be also used in the UK.
