man, I thought the gun guys would love this stuff

Ø.33" groups @ 100 yards with factory ammo ????

using a .308  that is very close to the same hole for all rounds fired

Scanned through it this morning...can't say I've seen it on any shelves that I've been looking at...

I'd sure love to have this for my self defense EDC ammo.

yeah, seems like an obvious evolution. Glad somebody's championing it. Anything to get the supply up.
 how re-loadable is it? 0% ?

They say completely non-reloadable.  Supposedly this is so the enemy can't pick up spent cases and reuse them.

Wonder what polymer they're using.

I think it's non reloadable by design, probably by making it impossible to  replace the primer.
Maybe civilian stuff will be reloadable at some point

It probably stretches the case mouth I'd imagine. Perfect self defense ammo. I don't EDC reloads. Only factory self defense ammo. Would be nice to shed a few pounds of ammo...
