The Prvi (also packaged as Wolf Gold) stuff isn't quite as accurate, but I can do .75" at 100 yards with the GP11, which is as good as it needs to be for the matches I shoot (High Power reduced at 100 yards). I use the Prvi for most shooting because the ammo is still within my error range, and I get reloadable brass for $0.50 per round that way; the GP11 is Berdan primed, so I just toss that stuff. My buddy showed me the difference in a few hand loads on his AR-15 Service Rifle setup, and it was amazing. The difference between a few grains was the difference between a 1.5" group and one ragged hole at 100 yards. I accept your premise, but wanted to be a shithead about the GP11...

I believe you'd see some enterprising young people simply go out and appropriate a Dillon or Hornady LnL and some casting gear and make a killing off of underground ammo. Again, this is one of those things where the uneducated assume that bullet manufacturing is some sort of complex alchemy that takes teams of rocket scientists to build and therefore assume that it would be easy to control. This would be one of my lines I'd not cross. I'd continue to load my own regardless if the law said it was illegal or not. Registration of ammo is registration period.
