Hmmm . . . maybe Lee, RCBS, Hornady, etc. will come out with "plastic dies" and a "plastic press" so we can reload the "plastic ammunition"? :roll eyes:
From the responses it is obvious that the new poly/copper bullets and their soon to come poly cases are quite unfamiliar to the average shooter. Perhaps this topic should be addressed after posters have had a chance to actually handle and fire this ammunition. I have read the article in G&A but have no actual hands on experience shooting the subject ammo, is there anyone who has inspected and shot ammunition containing the described polymere/copper bullet with the unique shape?
380 ammo that costs like 45acp.... eeehh, no thanks.
The selling point on their web page is faster for flatter shooting = more accurate. Uh, maybe they didn't hear SD shoots are mostly 8yds and under. I doubt there is meaningful difference in ballistic drop at that range!
Unless they get the bad guy to vaporize into an expanding cloud of debris when hit in the pinky (like we're told 45acp does), I'm not gonna be excited.
