Asking for a friend...
I don't quite understand how you get to 12. Any 10 shot mag rifle will hold 11 with one up the spout. The advice from police locally was that the regulations refer to magazine capacity.
Obviously there are some firearms will take more than one type of cartridge, eg 357/38 or 22LR/22 short. These may then potentially hold a greater number of rounds than the mandated 10. The advice was that it is the original specification that counts, but that it would be unwise to be caught with more than 10 rounds in a magazine.
For my money anybody stupid enough to bring themselves to the attention of police while in possession of a rifle with more than 10 rounds in the mag is too stupid to have the firearm anyway.
