If, f'rinstance, you can get 100,000 rounds of M855 ball on a pallet, that's roughly 3,000lbs. If the poly ammo weighs 30% less, you can get almost 150,000 rounds on that same pallet, or you can still ship the same 100,000 rounds but only have to move 2,100lbs of ammo. That said, I think poly ammo is an answer that's desperately searching for a question. It might go somewhere, but it seems more likely to end up in the "well, that was a neat idea" pile with caseless ammo.</blockquote>
