Ordered a brass catcher..............finally. It's one of those things I think of when I'm out at the range and then forget about when I get back to the house.
Was out at the range yesterday and one of the fellows I was shooting with had a suppressed 300 BO. I liked the can, especially with the subsonic rounds. As far as the cartridge goes? Fine out to 100yds. at 200 it was more like a mortar than a rifle. I had to hold about 18" over the steel to get hits. Regardless, I plan on building a can for my rifles depending on the outcome of the Texas law suit.

I was out shooting handgun at the range years ago and the guy at the next table and his son were shooting 300BO. I asked what it was and he 'splained it a bit. I nodded and made understanding/appreciative noises and wondered what the question was if 300BO is the answer and that maybe they should have asked a different question.
But I do like my .450 Bushmaster, so there's that.
No cans here. Maybe one day . . . .

Typical of the Democrats who search daily for any excuse to disarm and regulate law-abiding gun-owning citizens who threaten the political cost centers of their unconstitutional criminality.

Wat's right, it's an answer looking for a question. Maybe a question like, gee can I use my AR 15 platform to deliver a .30 caliber bullet with a barrel change? Or, how can I get better CQB results out of my AR15 platform when clearing an angry hog house?

One more reason I like my .450.
I also have a .458 SOCOM.
I haven't done much to get familiar with either of them.

I thought the threat to do so was coming from within the administration.
I'm sure that's part of it, spurred on by the media (NYT).
It's a US Gov't owned facility operated under contract by Winchester. The contract calls for approx. 1.6 billion rounds of small arms ammo to be manufactured per year with any surplus (not used by the military) to be sold on the open market. A HUGE majority of that surplus is sold to various law enforcement agencies (including those within the Federal Govm't). Regardless that still leaves millions of rounds that are sold through civilian wholesalers. The beef is that this ammo was found to be used in at least a dozen mass shootings over the years. The issue, of course, is what represents a "mass shooting" and what percentage does the LC plant represent?
The facts are that the plant is, and virtually always was, contracted to manufacture more than the military needed in any given year. This is to insure that the capability is there in the event the military needs the ammo in the event of a serious armed conflict. To reduce the contract number would be to force layoffs at the plant and in doing so jeopardize the plants ability to meet the military's needs in such an event. So it was decided long ago to keep the plant at full employment, and production, and allow the contractor to sell any surplus on the open market. This achieved two goals, obviously keeping the plant and trained employees fully engaged and to defray the cost to the government in doing so. And this explanation addresses the production planning versus the virtue signaling.
Of course there is an alternative, keep production at current levels and stockpile the surplus. All at great expense to the taxpayer for no sound reason. It's not as if those "mass shooters" couldn't/wouldn't have found their ammunition from another source.
Reserve a sufficient amount of assault ammo for the military and law enforcement, and then tax the shit out of the "surplus" now being sold to the general public. That's step 1 to addressing mass shootings and unregulated militiamen.
Step 2 will severely restict access for certain rypes of guns.
All of this becomes politically possible because the Deplorables worshipped an insurrectionist and robbed women of their reproductive rights.

Keyboards, all triggers, all the time, and protected by the First Amendment.
No shortage of squealing from those who overreached on the Second Amendment, but their time in the national spotlight is coming to a close.
Yawn...Same blather I've heard my whole life. Just because you say it doesn't mean it will ever happen. Or as you like to say about the laws you decide are unjust, that most will comply with a gun ban. In your eyes failing to obey tyrannical laws makes you a hero and perhaps a martyr. It can work for gun owners too.
WTF?
