PolyCase Ammunition: Something New Under the Sun
Mali:
Cabelas is selling the Polycase ARX (.45 Auto) for $22.99/box (20rnd) which seems to be fairly competitive.
abbafandr:
My understanding is the bullets are currently available in reloadable brass cases. The reason they are working towards polymer, one use cases, is for the military. That way they won't leave cases that enemies can reload and use against us.
SemperFiGuy:
Come to think of it.............
Shotgun shells are already a form of PolyCase.
And trapshooters reload 'em by the mega-pallet.
Also, FWIW, this quote of abbafandr's:

I get what you're saying but if it was cheap enough, then it accomplishes the same end, right?
At very least could be like CCI Blazer aluminum or steel cased ammo- another cost effective alternative.
I'm not holding my breath for that nor expecting brass to go away anytime soon though.

You have a good point in that if it is cheaper to buy this than the components to reload then this ammo becomes more viable, although I will still have the reloading so that I can be more self sufficient as well.
