DCRA is optional if you are going to go to ottawa and shoot NSCC then you will need it.

You should clarify this as it is misleading a bit. The answer is;

If you are going to come out and shoot only the provincial championship match, a BCRA only membership for $60 will suffice. However if you intend to shoot any practices or any of the regional events you will need to add a DCRA limited associate membership for an additional $30. If you intend on shooting any of the National events held in Ottawa a Full DCRA membership for $130 over the $60 BCRA only membership is required.

I'm not so sure actually.I've always shot multiple events with my BCRA membership AND every time I've shot NSCC my BCRA membership has always covered me.I've never had to buy a DCRA membership as long as I have the BCRA one.

Read the notes at the bottom of page 2 on the membership form. It wouldn't surprise me that they missed it but the DCRA component of the membership covers the insurance for shooting in Ottawa. You won't be on insurance list held by the DCRA and won't be covered in the event of an accident if you haven't paid that portion.

The BCRA membership only covers for ranges in BC. Besides, with only the BCRA membership you can't shoot any of the regionals or any of the practices. This is also laid out in the notes on page 2 and is also quoted in Pitcairns mailout email to BCRA members.
 
Strangely enough, note #2 at the bottom of the lower mainland regional schedule spells it out best "You require a BCRA/DCRA Con-Joint Membership to shoot practices and LMR Regional matches
on military ranges. You require a BCRA membership only to shoot BC Championships"
 
Is it still any rifle any sights/optics or has this changed?

Is there a total round count for pistol and for rifle ammo? Sorry if I missed it.

Ok, found the round count. Looks like about 300 for pistol and about 210 for rifle.
