What is a polymer coated semi wadcutter hollow point with a +P loading in a nickel case. Back in the 70's it was a Nyclad. A very good round but kind of expensive.
Today, I call it a 'reload'. Polymer coated SWCHPs are easy to obtain. The Nyclad coating was nylon, but I'll bet that today's coatings are at least as good.
So even though Nyclads are gone. (I have a few for old time's sake) They are actually common. Is there any factory made polymer coated SWCHP defense ammo now?
Besides, the SWC shape is more amenable to reloading an empty gun. Do you use speedloaders?
