Two bits the real purpose is to ban all sales of surplus military ammo...

Very well could be. The Shoguns must be getting disturbed by all of the cases and cases of surplus ball ammo in 556, 762X39 and 308 getting shipped to mere peasants across the land. Must disturb them greatly.

Winchester SSP12 Supreme Partition Gold Slugs Second generation sabot slugs,in a 2 3/4 inch shell, and 385 grain (7/8 oz) hollowpoint slug. The slug is a copper jacketed 4-petal (notched hollowpoint) bullet of ~.50 caliber. It gives good expansion from the notched hollowpoint. The advertised velocity is 1900 fps at 3 ft. This is a "magic bullet", although at a high price. It performs admirably with less than 2 inch groups at 100 yards and 3-4 inch groups at 200 yards. This was in my Remington Wingmaster 12 gauge pump with Hastings 24" rifled barrel and 4-12x by 42 scope. I zeroed it at 150 yards, and the ballistics tables showed a 6.8 inch drop at 200 yards. Actual performance was a 7.1 inch drop at 200 yards. If one wants to shoot a tight group, then use all the shells from the same box, because I noticed slight differences between boxes even though they were from the same manufacturing lot (bought from different places). There is no shotgun slug that equals the performance of this Winchester SSP12 shell. In fact, the SSP12 gives a far smaller group at 200 yards than the premium Federal shells can do at 100 yards.

The Shoguns must be getting disturbed by all of the cases and cases of surplus ball ammo in 556, 762X39 and 308 getting shipped to mere peasants across the land. Must disturb them greatly.

One can only hope that it has them is an absolute cold sweat. That is the exact point. There a L - O - T of cases and cases and cases of sealed, well preserved ammo in private hands, there is more every day and it will be there for a LONG time.
