AR-15 steel core ammo

[matt78]

Any of you guys know what's going on with bam bams executive order on steel core A.R.ammo,5.56/.223? What's next? .308? 7.62x39? Crazy stuff.

Pretty soon it will ALL be banned. That's just a foot in the door. Trust me....

It's the penetrator that's the issue.

Here's some good reading on the subject. The Cliff notes is that the M855 ammo does not meet ANY of the four objective criteria set forth by Congress some time back that defines ammo as 'armor piercing'. With the right lawsuit and challenge, this could/should get tossed out on its ear....

No way, don't believe that at all.

The ban supposedly starting on m855 ball ammo by the atf is because they say it's "armor piercing" yes this ammo and other steel core ammo has better penetraiting qualities.

Any hollow point projectile can be made to shoot through almost anything, just snap off a piece of tungsten welding rod in there and it will travel through almost anything. "From what I've heard"

I feel that this is another scare just like the supposed assault weapons ban back in 2012.

this is most likely a bunch of bs just to sell a surplus of this ammo because so many people don't buy it anymore and they refuse to pay the ridiculous price they want now.

So much for the ban, all the store shelves are cleared again...I got to go back to reloading....

Reloading is the way to go just so much easier to buy

I been buying my 9mm and .223 because it was cheaper to buy it, oh well...I got 8lbs of IMR 8208 I need to use.

That's pricey ammo now. Have a progressive press?
