Yeah, they cost more and aren't any more accurate.
Some supposedly produce less smoke than regular cast.
You can do it yourself if you cast your own (or really want to try and buy as-cast and unlubed commercial bullets).
I really like Precision Bullets' swaged and coated bullets, but they still cost a bit more than cast lead.

thanks pd - i think i gotta try some

Sounds like the powder coated bullets would be much better and you can do that yourself.

Here are plastic coated bullets made in Slovakia. The main advantage is it doesn't need any lubricating (the coating contains some high temp lubricants), doesn't need any gas checks for higher velocities and no leading of course. And price difference to "standard cast bullet" is from my point of view negligible.

Accuracy is great in .460 Rowland. They are cast out of approx. 92% lead, 6% antimony, 2% tin alloy.

Will shoot it in .500 S&W also. If you order 2000 bullets or more, you can choose any color. If you order less, you will get what they have on stock.

BTW here is foto of fired one:

I remember the Smith & Wesson Nyclad pistol rounds. They were blue. A thick coating.

The rumour mill had it that they were withdrawn as they "healed" (enough) after firing such that could not be forensically "matched" against the weapon that fired them.

The ones I am seeing here in Britain, now, are orange 9mm/.38 and looks just like some sort of plastic paint not a thick coating like the Nyclad were.

Accuracy is no worse nor better than conventionally lubed bullets of the same profile. But, my oh my, they look odd...orange!

The S&W Nyclad was sold to Federal, and was sold hit and miss until the mass hording of the past few years.

Butch,

Ahlman's has a bunch of these for sale at basically cast prices... Acme bullets.

They work pretty well and cut down on the leading a bunch. Used them in IDPA for a year. Reliable enough and clean enough I didn't clean the gun for a couple months...
