Dallas Safari Club recent e-mail newsletter had an item that the Feds (ATF) are trying to outlaw all solid bullets "as armor piercing" which might be loaded into a "pistol caliber" except maybe .458
What will this do to some other good hunting bullets and things like the Hornady GMX???
Anyone have any more information???
Comments welcome.

Sorry, may have been another organization but the message was the same, ATF against solids.
Thanks

Take a look at this thread for some information on that subject:

BATFE vs. Barnes and other solid bullet makers ...

Thanks for the related thread.
I found the source of my notification finally.
It was in e-mail from Central Texas Safari Club
on Feb 23 out of Austin Texas.
Is it possible for these ATF guys to classify all mono-metal bullets as "armor piercing"
if they continue to extend their reach???
We are likely to lose some really good bullets
to their official BS.

Good Shooting

As I understand it, copper solids are not under BATFE scrutiny.

Barnes is working to get an official exemption for their solids.

There was something also abotu a 'fear' that the bigger solids could be turned down into pistol calibers...why on earth they wouldn't just start with raw stock I don't know, but that's our ATF for you...

Only a matter of time and apathy on the part of the gun owners. Our motto should be See Something Stop Something ( The four S's) but it isn't, because unlike the Anti's we don't ever really do anything about it. The NRA not only won't do a damn thing but even denied they had even heard about it. Treated me like I was making it up. Brass, Copper, Lead, doesn't matter its only a matter of time.-Rob
