How about building some SS109/M855 5.56 bullets in you kitchen? Without those, you built a nice paper weight.

What are you talking about? I've put 5,000 rounds through my AR and not one was an 855 round. Just plain, old, buy it by the ton at Wal-Mart, .223/5.56 ball ammo.

Easily done, you can cast hard lead or swage press lead core copper jacketed bullets (http://www.corbins.com/index.htm).

Add cases, powder, primers and a bullet press and you are reloading at home. Of course, it takes a bit of knowledge and skill but those are the essential tools.

If you had a clue what you are talking about you would have saved your breath on this one. He Built an AR-10, it does not chamber or fire the ammunition you referred to..
Before you engage your fingers/mouth on issues you really need to know what the hell you are talking about. You failed.
And by the way, I load my own ammo every day. Although this ammo ban is stupid it will not slow down my reloading process at all. The full metal jacket Ball ammo they want to ban is my last choice to shoot out of my AR-15’s because it is non expanding and just punches little holes. I much prefer soft nose, or hollow point bullets that expand in the target displacing more tissue and expending much more energy into the target.
If the Oboma bots get their way everyone will have to shoot these more deadly bullets...
Sometimes things just do not work out like you want them too.. With this ban, more people will die because of the mandated use of much more lethal bullets.

The Vietnam era M193 55 grain FMJ ball cartridge is still available, and not in the sights of ATF at present. although I had stocked up on 8500 SS109 rounds before this mess started. I had got some great deals on M193 and have about 500 rounds of those.
