I wouldn't store primed cartridges. There is no real benefit and they will add risk to you and yours. may as well prime them before you load them. Time saving hardly anything, risk increased.

You can only have as many made up rounds in your possession as your licence states you can hold.

This also applies to section 5 components (bullets) that expand, if you have authority for them.

FMJ & target components you can have as many as you wish. No limit.

Reloading power, I think has an upper limit of 12kg.

There is perhaps an advantage with shotgun cartridges, to reloading. You can use almost infinitely recyclable brass cartridges. Then you would only need to store appropriate primers, & normal / black powder & wadding / wax sealer, whichever is preferred....

Interesting. Not seen these brass cartridges anywhere before. Where can you get them from?

Google is your friend.
