A USA Today/Associated Press column published Thursday suggests lawmakers struggling to get traction on gun control may want to redirect their energies toward “bullet regulation.”
Jeanine Santucci writes in USA Today, “Government leaders calling for reform say bullet regulation – including through the recording of sales, licensing of dealers or background checks – is necessary in the ongoing battle to curb mass shootings.”
She notes:
The Giffords group and other gun regulation advocates also propose that ammunition sellers be required to maintain records of their sales, and make the information available to law enforcement, as New Jersey will soon enact.
Data collection and reporting of large sales to state police, along with other measures such as behavioral threat assessments, will help law enforcement to identify bad actors, [New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin (D)] said. Law-abiding gun owners who purchase ammunition in bulk won’t have anything to worry about, Platkin said.
Santucci’s column also pushes for magazine capacity restrictions, claiming such limitations would reduce the effectiveness of high-profile shooters.

That can be true just about anywhere these days. Finding the correct primers, powder and other components can also be a challenge. With the proper equipment however, the results can be better than factory.

Not as easy to beat factory as it used to be.
But for a load developed for a certain gun, like a light 45 target load, factory doesn’t make it, and it’s way cheaper. And loading is fun, too. Oops, I have nails in my garage, and that makes me a scheming explosives producing psychopath.
“Don’t serious trap and skeet shooters buy by the pallet.”
Multiple cases at a time at least. Mrs L loves trap and, back when we could find it anyway, we were paying $60 a case for #8 trap loads. Fiochi IIRC. Now it’s double that if you can find it.
I used to get it from a guy who owns the company that makes the machines that throw the birds. He bought by the pallet. Usually 10 at a time.
He says he’s getting quotes 10-12 months on deliveries these days.

Our shotguns are standard calibers; but we have a collection of handguns and rifles many with cartridges that cannot typically be purchased easily if at all.
