HEADDESK

From reading Book of Faces...

There are people who think that the ammo makers are the chief beneficiaries of a ban on M855.

Really?

So having a huge mound of bullets they cannot sell is a benefit to them?

Check the wiring in your headgear Troubleshooter.

The reason that M855 is cheap is that it's failed some check from milspec someplace along the line.  Most often it's a minor cosmetic issue, next most common is not making the very tight window for velocity.

That shit-cans the entire lot of ammo for the manufacturer and being able to sell it to the general public means they can, at least, break even on the costs sunk into the rejected lot.

If they cannot sell it to us, then they lose the money that went into making it because no component of a rejected lot may be used to fill any mil order.
