And once it passes government protocol for power "accidentally" load it heavy for shooting.
Numbers are like statistics.... you can use them how you please and bias your results to reflect your passions

Lol! You think that they'll bend to a few handloaders; probably only 5% of gun owners? And go to the trouble of chronographing their personal loads to make sure that they're capable of making reliable ammunition below the energy cut off, and approve it on the shooter's word that he'll never make full power stuff in contravention of the new law?? That's a gooder!
More likely they'd acknowledge that it could be done; imagine that hand loaders are making super powerful versions of the .338 and try to snuff out reloading too!
Not calling you a Fudd or anything, but that is the type of thinking that they typically get trapped in. That there is no way that their trusty bolt gun, or goose buster could be on the list. If it does somehow, it must be some accident, and maybe we could just give away something else, or make some concession. You know, give away something that no one needs for hunting.
