Yeah, I checked my order and it was actually Sunday, not really last week. Guess I got it in just in time. I've always purchased pulled green tip bullets in the past and these Wideners ones are virgin...I need to figure out a way to quickly paint the tips so I can visually separate them from the 55g FMJ.
The principle upsets me more than the actual action. I don't think I've ever actually bought green tip. (BOUGHT being the key word here...}
I got some on Sunday around 1 PM. I guess I got in before the lock.

How does this clause not apply?
Title 18, UNITED STATES CODE, CHAPTER 44 as amended by Public Law 103-322 The Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (enacted September 13, 1994) 18 U.S.C. CHAPTER 44 § 921(a)(17)(B) the term 'armor piercing ammunition' means --" as armor piercing. then ammended "NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CARTRIDGES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE DEFINITION OF ARMOR PIERCING AMMUNITION: 5.56MM (.223) SS109 and M855 Ammunition, Identified by a green coating on the projectile tip. U.S. .30-06 M2 AP, Identified by a black coating on the projectile tip
Then it came back, maybe they are letting it out slowly?

The ATF argues that, with the proliferation of AR style pistols, it's now a pistol round, which is illegal to sell armor piercing variants of.Quote:

I have emailed the BATFE and left my comments and called Gardner and Bennett and asked them to use whatever influence that they may have to stop the ban on a popular plinking and target ammo that millions of enthusiasts use every day in the most popular rifle in the country. Politely I might add.
