I will say it again: cast them out of the right alloy, size them correctly, and use the right lube, and you are good to go. Plastic coatings are the answer to a non-existent problem.
Thais not entirely true, at least for the Hi Tech Polymer coated bullets. The reason they have been used in Australia for so long is that they contain much of the lead. Some lead free ranges allow them as long as lead free primers are used.

What you say about proper size and alloy is correct but there still exists a lot of problems with leading, not everyone has the advantage of picking the correctly sized bullets with the right alloy for all velocities and calibers.
