I bot some a few months ago. Polymer coated. Not plated. Not powder coated. Polymer.
They were having a sale with free shipping. And I bot some .45 and 9mm.
I've been to their site and read their pitch.
But I'd love to hear any first hand experiences.

Rumor was that the coating allowed them to penetrate body armor, but it never happened.
I had some blue Barnes Match Burners in .224, but the coating was like a molley. Never could get the Barnes to shoot.
Blue Bullets is just one of the crowd. They, like Falcon, mix their own coating; many of the others like Bayou, BBI, MBC, etc etc. use Hi Tek coating made in Australia.
No connection with historic Nyclad.
There are forty-leven shops making coated lead bullets these days as an alternative to wax lube. Lets them make a low smoke, low fouling bullet without having to tool up for plating.

Yes. This is accurate. ^^^^
Nothing special or impressive. Just an alternative to plated bullets, cause I'm currently too cheap to load FMJ bullets...
Just wondering if anyone had any experience first hand. I've got all the website and google noise. Just looking for someone who had pulled the crank and fired a few downrange.
Do you have to wait 20 minutes after loading before they are effective?...................[:p]
Hah!!
Just got that. No. They aren't that type of blue bullets.[:I][:I][:I][:D]
