Anyone have info about this ammo?
Like to know if it's worth the trouble to find it.
Also anyone shooting it?
I know its been around for several years, Just want to know if it's been perfected, Should be cheaper than Brass, or steel cases.....

Regards Very Happy

I remember reading something about that a while back but really can't remember the details. Since it didn't generate much interest to me I'd assume it wasn't reloadable.

It might be cheaper than buying new ammo each time but it isn't cheaper than reloading brass. As far as I know none of the plastic cases are reloadable.

Gents,
I am not questioning that polymer is not reloadable!
Just wanted to know if the polymer case has been perfected and if it is shootable and/or cheaper than buying brass or steel.
