This is the most common rifle ammunition. Just because someone has made a handgun that can use this round doesn’t change the fact that it is primarily rifle ammo. The unintended consequence of this rule would be to dramatically increase the use of lead ammunition by sport shooters, putting more lead into the environment. This kind of rule making plays into the worst paranoid fears of the gun owners and drives gun owners who might be open to reasonable restrictions on firearms deeper into the arms of the NRA.
