If the ATF judges that rifle ammo can be used in a pistol, than at their discretion they may declare any armor piecing ammo in that caliber to be illegal to manufacture or sell for civilians. What is armor piecing depends on the amount in the jacket and core of hard metals like steel and depleted uranium, tungsten etc. Currently according to the ATF if I am still update 30-06 armor piecing is legal and .308 is not. .223 with a steel penetrator is legal.
