some bad things going against it. First the "cop killer" stigma that the liberal press put on it when it had the steel core. That in itself caused a lot of liberal states to ban the sale of the ammo. Secondly the price of the ammo. When we sold the ammo it was something like $35 a box of 50. When you figure the price in at today's prices, it probably is more, whereas the 22 Magnum is about half that. Yes, you can reload it but reloading it has to be a real pain in the butt with those tiny little bullets and short case. And the brass might be rare or pricey or both. Also the original FN got a bad rep for being inaccurate.
I hope it is accurate and if Ruger builds it, they have done everything to make it right.
