What........?

 

[remymartin]

Check for a Chrysler emblem on the end, looks like trouble J/K tracer round???

That looks like a .224" sabot (say-bo). It allows you to load .224 bullets in .30 cal cartridges.

Looks like a sabot-type load like the Remington Accelerator (.30-30, .30-06).

Neat rounds, look like fun!
This brings up a section of Indiana code that had me scratching my head.


IC 35-47-5-11
"Armor-piercing handgun ammunition" defined; related offenses
Sec. 11. (a) As used in this section, "armor-piercing handgun ammunition" means a cartridge that:
(1) can be fired in a handgun; and
(2) will, upon firing, expel a projectile that has a metal core and an outer coating of plastic.
(b) A person who knowingly or intentionally:
(1) manufactures;
(2) possesses;
(3) transfers possession of; or
(4) offers to transfer possession of;
armor-piercing handgun ammunition commits a Class C felony.
(c) This section does not apply to nylon coated ammunition, plastic shot capsules, or ammunition designed to be used in rifles or shotguns.
(d) This section does not apply to a law enforcement officer who is acting in the course of the officer's official duties or to a person who manufactures or imports for sale or sells armor-piercing handgun ammunition to a law enforcement agency.
As added by P.L.332-1983, SEC.1. Amended by P.L.327-1987, SEC.2.

My concern is that the reason for the ban on steel core is that it was considered AP ammo that could be used in a pistol AK variant.

Could the same case be made for this ammo? Would the OP be exempt if he only has rifles in 7.62x39? What about loading .224 bullets in .30 sabots into 7.62x25 Tokarev for use in a AR upper of the same caliber?
Does anyone have any more info/opinions about this section of IC?


These are the kind of questions that kept me out of the good schools.

No, as the projectile itself does not have an outer coating of plastic; rather, it is fitted into a plastic sabot that falls away upon leaving the muzzle.

I used to load 7.62x39 and SOME 7.62x25 with the plastic sabots. Meh accuracy in the CZ52, but MUCH better in the 7.62x39 (even when compared with brass cased Winchester or Federal ammo, Remington just wanged chung IMHO). Fun stuff, if your rifle can feed em!

A discarding- sabot??????
