As this is being done under the “sporting purposes” standard.. is and should be seen as not valid in this case as this ammunition is in COMMON USE and as such is protected under the 2nd amendment.

“We also recognize another important limitation on the
right to keep and carry arms. Miller said, as we have
explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those
“in common use at the time.” “ DC v Heller p.26

“We think
that Miller’s “ordinary military equipment” language must
be read in tandem with what comes after: “[O]rdinarily
when called for [militia] service [able-bodied] men were
expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves
and of the kind in common use at the time.” “ DC V. Heller p52

As a militia arm the standard round of the US military should be obviously protected.

As Millions of these rounds have been sold to the general public it is “in common use”
