All these pictures of CNC stations and robot arms like they make each round individually. It looks an awful lot like a company putting on a front to get private investors or .gov investments. They’re also catering to “civilian long range shooters”. I can’t say that that’s a good crowd to cater to. You can’t reload the polymer cases, you’re just buying factory match grade ammo that you can’t tailor to your rifle.I may be wrong, but I don’t think LE is gonna want to throw a small fortune out of their tight budgets to purchase some fancy pants new ammo, esp when their current stash is proven and affordable.I could see the DOD being a possible customer, but I doubt this company can produce the millions, if not billions of rounds the DOD procures every year from big dogs like Federal and Remington. And their miraculous weight saving claims aren’t as impressive as they seem. They claim their stuff is 30% lighter than brass case. So your average dude in the military gets on average 6 magazines and the ammo to fill them. That’s at least Marine Corps policy, but I know that gets bent. I’ve seen some grunts around Marjah with 8-9 magazines. But, let’s say 6 30 round mags, loaded with standard 55gr fmj bullets. Each loaded round weighs roughly 190 grains. Multiply that by 180 rounds and divide by 7000 grains to a pound and you get a whopping 4.88 pounds. These new polymer bullets would weigh in at 3.41 pounds for a full battle load. I don’t see anyone buying into that. I just don’t see the point, nor do I see the end goal as feasible.</blockquote>
