McHenry Acts To Thwart Obama Admin Attempts To Ban Common Rifle Ammo

Congress and the NRA are not taking the Obama Administration’s threats to the nation’s ammunition supply lying down, and are instead firing back to protect
all rifle ammunition for ATF overreach and abuse.

You’ll note that the bill would affect “any ban on the sale and manufacture of ammunition that is intended, marketed, and sold for rifle use,” meaning it would not just protect against future attempts to ban M855, but would presumably roll back existing bans on other kinds of rifle ammunition.
This would ensure that any existing surplus of non-Russian 7N6 ammunition could be imported. It’s less clear if the dwindling surplus of Russian 7N6 would be affected, as the ban on Russian 7N6 was part of economic sanctions placed on Russia by the White House in response to Russia’s support of rebel forces in Ukraine.
The act would also presumably allow the re-importation of the Chinese M43 cartridge. The M43 is the original cartridge for the 7.62×39 AK series of rifles. Featuring a steel core, the M43 was a failure as a military bullet because it was incredible stable, and “ice-picked” through the bodies of enemy soldiers with relatively little damage, mimicking the wounding behavior of a low-powered, non-expanding handgun round. This is irrelevant to American shooters, who merely desire an inexpensive round to shoot at targets.
