Something came to me in the mail from a good friend… I can’t believe it. I am stunned. He said he was going to send a couple boxes. I didn’t expect 4! WOW! Guys, I am humbled. I’m talking about 124gr Federal Nyclad 9MM Ammunition.
In my book, the Nyclad line of ammunition is something very special. The nylon clad bullet eliminates bore leading, reduces airborne lead and provides accuracy and stopping power at standard pressure loadings. The bullet, being free of a copper jacket is able to expand nicely at low velocity. So even if your bullet isn’t racing at warp speed… it’s going to do a fine job once it gets there. Now here is the kicker… it’s doing a leisurely 1150 FPS at standard pressure. This means these cartridges are a pussycat to shoot. Meaning you can put more rounds on target quicker than you could with higher pressure/velocity ammunition. (that regular JHP ammunition requires for reliable expansion) Now, if that isn’t enough, get this… The Nyclad bullet coating has a natural lubricity to it that makes the rounds “slipperyâ€. No – this wont allow them to defeat body armor… but it does make them more reliable when the bullet is being cycled through the action of an automatic handgun. In fact, I have seen some guns that were horrible when it came to feeding hollow point ammunition and FMJ “ball†ammunition, run flawlessly when loaded with Nyclads.
