Well that would be an effective way to cut out the supplies and reloading ability of people going forward with one time use casings then mandate they be used for environmental reasons.
I wonder if that new round will still be re-loadable. It finally looks like something that gives a reason to switch from .308 or .223 if they can make it cheap enough, though. Now I'm imagining that hybrid case design being scaled up or down into all kinds of crazy wildcats...
Why the General Dynamics rifle has an old oil filter on the front remains a mystery
Also, u/m1919a2 here's where the new hybrid 6.8 round is better than mememoore (according to the people that make the new 6.8)

Mandating the use of a non-reusable petrobased polymer for environmental reasons seems pretty fucking smol brained to me.
... which is why they're gonna double down and go for it.

Polymer-cased ammo is not re-loadable. Once the ammo purchasing bans come down, what you have is all you will ever have.
