Total Nylon Jacket

[SLIM86]

I was looking for ammo online the other day and came across Herters Total Nylon Jacket (TNJ) ammo with aluminum casings. Has anyone heard of or shot this kind of ammo before?

I've read about it but have not tried it, yet. It is supposed to be cleaner for your gun and the price is fantastic.

Thanks, yea it was advertised as cleaner and cheaper. I'm thinking about giving it a try to see how it does just wanted to know if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with it

Can't speak to the Herter's but I used to love Federal's Nyclad line. Made cleaning a breeze. If I had a Cabella's near me I'd pick up a few boxes of the .45. Just wish they made .357 or .44 Special.

Has anyone been able to find these bullets loose? If so, anyone try reloading with these? I'd be interested in finding out how these work with a press.

I have some old Federal Nyclad 38 and 9mm stuff. I keep a Colt Det Spec loaded with Nyclads in a nightstand. It is pretty good ammo.

 

[danatkins]

i wonder if they're re-loadable

 

[SLIM86]

Thanks for the info I'm gonna grab some today assuming its still there!

 

[dukeboy_318]

from my understanding/research(not personally tried it), aluminum cases cannot be reloaded.

Yea I have always heard that about aluminum case ammo too. But if the make nylon jacket bullets I suppose you could reload them in brass cases

Now for the big question: Who sells bulk nyclad bullets for reloading?
