Meaning it was not sold to places that resell it to reloaders. They were grinding it up to sell to recyclers. It took some letters from congress critters to make them stop because it actually was illegal.Giraffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556306156373942923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-90398695198291774552015-03-17T03:12:01.486-06:002015-03-17T03:12:01.486-06:00Good points.

Here is another one: the component bullet can be reloaded, so why not reload it and reissue it for training or other non-combat shooting?<br /><br />Personally I think selling it to the public for reloads is the way to go, but if they don't want the public to have them, just stop selling them to us.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-27813083979324241352015-03-16T17:04:54.376-06:002015-03-16T17:04:54.376-06:00"If they want to keep hobbyists from having t...<b>"<i>If they want to keep hobbyists from having the stuff, all that have to do is, NOT RESELL SCRAP BULLETS to the public.

They aren't allowed to just toss anything out if it can either be utilized by some other government agency or sold to recover part of the cost.<br /><br />They pack up old computers by the pallet-load and sell them at auction as scrap for pennies-on-the-dollar. Same with bullets. About the only thing they could do to prevent the bullets from being reused is to melt them down first. But doing so requires putting even more money into that than they would subsequently get out of selling them.<br /><br />I think what the misguided Congresscritter intends is for somebody to buy up the bullets, melt them down themselves, and make something else out of them. But Congresscritters frequently live in a fantasy land where they think other unrealistic events happen all the time, too.WaterBoynoreply@blogger.com
