Saw this article today. Also saw Sierra promoting it on social media

I know the concept of polymer cased ammo has been around for a while and never panned out, but people are continuing to invest a lot of effort and resources into it to make it successful. My bet is eventually they will be successful.

I spent the good part of a morning doing accuracy testing with an Accuracy International AXMC rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. I tried everything I could think of to make this ammunition fail — and it didn't. The best five-shot group at 100 yards measured .33 inch.
Most telling for me was the chronograph data that I recorded on a LabRadar. The five-shot string I measured had an extreme spread (ES) of 8 feet per second (fps) and a standard deviation (SD) of 3.7. Those are exceptionally low numbers and evidence that all the effort in creating such a consistent case was worth it.
