I think its a crying shame good folk are subjected to restrictions based on BS. Higher velocity only results in longer range in the open unobstructed. Why not a powdered metal projectile doing 3,000fps?
You are right about the AR platform. It really needs a good dear cartridge!
As for high velocity unfortunate experience has shown that velocity equates to range. Obviously you have no experience with frangable ammo. When it hits a building its pretty destructive, but unless we are talking jungle density it goes through brush either not at all or just fine (usually just fine). Besides the ignorant politicos will never believe that it will only kill deer not livestock or people!
