tnj ammo?

[slumpy]

Looking at my new cabela's magazine today and saw some herters nonreloadable nylon bullets, made from high grade air craft aluminum. Anybody have any luck with this ammunition? Only drawback I can see is it's not reloadable. Seems cheap at 19.99 for a box of 50 .45acp.

Nylon bullets made from aluminum? So are the bullets made from nylon or aluminum? Sounds kinda cheesy to me. I think I'd have to pass; I don't want to put nylon fouling or aluminum fouling in the bore of my guns

Cheap? Federal 230gr FMJ is $17.50 a box at Wal-Mart.

This stuff is advertised a "total nylon jacketed" bullet - looks like a take off on the old Nyclad.

You can't reload those aluminum cases- the only use I could imagine is if you shoot at one of those "no lead" indoor ranges, so $17.99 a box (bulk price) for that stuff may not be too bad.

I've got no clue as to who owns the rights to the Herter's name. I did business with them decades ago when they were independent.

If the patents are still in force, Federal owns the rights to the nylon jacket technology-which orginally was developed to reduce lead exposure on indoor ranges. CCI does aluminum cases and both are owned by ATK. I'd kinda think it may be a special run under contract from whoever owns the Herter's name.

And yep, it's a whole lot cheaper than many of the various types of 'green' ammo intended to minimize hazardous range conditions.
