Thanks. I believe the following means only reloading consumables, dies, equipment and accessories relating to firearms which generate in excess of 13600 joules will be compensated.

Clearly the value of these and other accessories will depreciate significantly and will have virtually nil value to me, with compensation only payable for my lever release itself.
Fun times :(
(3)Regulations under subsection (1) must provide that a payment may only be
made to a person making a claim which meets—
(a)condition A, and
(b)where the claim is made in respect of ancillary equipment which is
ammunition, condition B.
(4)Condition A is that the person making the claim had the ancillary equipment
to which the claim relates in their possession—
(a)on or immediately before 20th June 2018, or
(b)after that date because they purchased it by virtue of a contract entered
35into on or before that date.
(5)Condition B is that the possession of the ammunition by the person making the
claim was, at all material times, lawful by virtue of a firearm certificate held by
them or by virtue of being a registered firearms dealer.
I believe that much of the language in this section is designed to preclude items such as optics.
In subsection (1) “ancillary equipment” means equipment, other than
prohibited ammunition, which—
(a)is designed or adapted for use in connection with firearms prohibited
by virtue of section 28 or 29, and
(b)has no practicable use in connection with any firearm which is not a prohibited weapon.
