Q: What are the advantages of polymer coated bullets?
A: There several disadvantages to plain hard cast lead bullets, as well as plated and jacketed bullets.
Plain, lubricated hard cast lead bullets, while inexpensive and capable of exceptional accuracy, can leave lead fouling in your gun's bore, and can cause even more fouling and poor performance if they are loaded to higher velocities. The lead and lubricant use can also cause excessive smoking while shooting, particularly with hot/fast burning powders and rapid fire.
Plated and Jacketed bullets can perform well at both lower and higher velocities, but can be expensive and also wear out your bore faster than softer metal projectiles.
Polymer coated bullets combine several of the advantages of hard cast lead and jacketed bullets. They smoke less, are inexpensive, are more accurate, and won't lead your barrels even in hot pistol loads.
