For me that is exactly the point.

Why in the world should I continue paying $3-$4/shot for Remington to build straight wall rifle ammo out of plastic to do the same thing I can do with a 450 Bushmaster for $1/shot?

Arms companies defeated the whole point of only allowing shotguns years ago.

These are not "shotguns" we are shooting now, they are rifles with plastic cased straight wall rifle ammo. There is simply no point in continuing to do that and really hasn't been for a long time.
