    True Velocity Ammunition

    Came across this today. Very interesting. Not sure if their claims are true, but intriguing nonetheless. Anyone try any?

    Saw some .308 win for sale on Midway for $3.50 per round. Pretty expensive.

    For sure. They’re $1.20 a round more than the Nosler Trophy Grade. It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison. You would think being polymer, that materials cost would be less than brass. Maybe if they sell enough of them the price will come down.

    There are advantages from a military standpoint, but I don't have millions of people paying for my ammo.

    Why would I pay more for non-reloadable cases?

    Do you know for sure that they’re not reloadable? I didn’t delve into them enough to find out.

    No. It reads like “we do this a little different. Don’t try and bubba it in the garage.”
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    I’m sure there’s a bit of “hold my beer” implied.

    I might be wrong about this, but I see neck tension being an issue with polymer cases holding conventional bullets. Probably why they advise against reloading. I wouldn't be surprised to see issues with bullet setback arising during military testing. Well see.
