True Velocity Polymer Ammunition

[Cholla]

I just watched this video and my first thought was, are the polymer cases reloadable? At the price point that a box of loaded ammo is selling for, I want to re-use the cases. I guess I need to stop by their booth at the Shot Show and ask.

Did you intend to include a link to the video?

Yes. Sorry.

Will sunlight or chemicals like bore cleaners or rust preventatives degrade and weaken the polymer over time?

Every other polymer case I've seen in the past is not reloadable - doesn't mean these aren't though as technology keeps progressing

I don't see how you could constantly reform the polymer to fit the chamber like we form brass.

Last he checked no shortage on quantity and no restrictions on the amount I'm not surprised at that price that's insane

I have a box of 308s, haven't had enough time to waste to run them through yet. Anything that reduces the cost of ammo, or the weight of a belt or mag for a soldier's load out is probably worth it for military use because maybe one in ten thousand rounds is even expected to ever find the mark. In the precision long-range game there aren't any benefits to us at this time.

Quote from video:

In our testing at 100 yards 165gn Nosler ABs produced five-shot groups as small as .77 inch, and none larger than an inch. Average groups measured .85 inch.

This is what the video is showing during that claim, it's like they actively decided they wanted to make everyone watching to go:

Why not show a better group? Maybe there wasn't one, and the math was a little creative

interesting but unless it is biodegradable the green weenies will have a heart attack leaving that much plastic on the battlefield.

 

[Cholla]

I'm guessing they are like CCI Blazers and one and done.

Don't give them any ideas!

The inevitable end game would be biodegradable plant-based renewable cellulose-based cases that dissolve every time it rains

Warning this is a system to replace brass cases till all manufactures use this method to stop us from reloading our own ammo. Dont be fooled by this new democrat run company I dont care if its 10.00 dollars for a box of 20 or 50. this is just my thoughts. right or wrong ?

Not reloadable. I tried with 5.56 years ago. Unless it's changed dramatically (the polymer) the bullet is lose when you seat it.

Might not last if we don't have oil.

Interesting thought.
