I have been shooting Syntech in 45ACP, 9MM and 40S&W


IT chronographs on the slow side but shoots just fine.

The projectiles are fully coated so there is no lead exposure. Very similar to the Nyclad ammunition of decades gone by, just a different color and no nylon in the coating

Thanks. When you say "shoots just fine" does that mean as accurate as FMJ...?

Yes, accuracy is on par with FMJ. However, I do not consider FMJ to be any kind of accurate loading.
