So much for reloading? With a solution in search of a problem, SC company develops single-use cartridge cases for government.

Lemke’s vision began when he was an Army diplomat and consulted with foreign governments in regards to drug enforcement and needed single-use cartridges that couldn’t be reused by “the bad guys” after armed altercations. This was forwarded by a faithful reader with the comment:
Uh, huh. Because it's well known that ALL drug loads are avid reloaders, and frequently scour firefight battlefields to pick up all of the expended brass.
Let's see, since most logistic difficulties can be overcome in war by a resourceful guerrilla, I guess this just puts a premium on raids of government armories and manufactories like Lemke's as well as the age-old practice of supply from dead enemies' ammo pouches.

The Soviets figured that out decades ago: berdan primed steel case.

If I risk my neck for this cause, will I get to pry the gold teeth from those dead statist guys too?

Sure. They're dead so they won't care.

At range last week, cases were hardened aluminum, boxer primer. No reload possible.

After a certain point, it all moves by truck. Trucks drive on the same roads as the rest of us. Sometimes cars break down at odd moments. Sometimes people find trucks that have stopped at lights, etc., to be attractive targets of crimes of opportunity.

I'm just saying...
