Polycase Bullet Testing – 1

Introduction/initial impression:

Polycase Ammunition is a relatively new, Savannah GA based business.  They are implementing pioneering certain manufacturing techniques and materials into bullet and cartridge case manufacturing.   We will be testing and reporting on their injection molded bullets.  www.polycaseammunition.com

We have received a number of bullets for testing and quality is good, weights are very consistent and the monolithic structure of the bullet eliminates concentricty issues.  Prototype bullets occasionally have some excess sprue that is easily trimmed prior to loading.

The bullets are light for diameter.  The initial bullets provided are an 84gr RN and 75gr ARX.  Titegroup seems to be an ideal propellant for loading these bullets.

Initial testing from multiple firearms proved the bullets are very accurate.  The light bullet develops little recoil and is very easy to shoot.

Their ARX bullet is an interesting concept and we will delve into its terminal performance characteristics in future posts.  We will test in 10% Ordnance Gelatin.
