From their website. "Lead free, copper monolithic, nickel plated projectiles." I'll stick with my 230gr HydroShoks. Last edited by rockinbbar; 02/02/21. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

Sooner1911 Campfire Greenhorn S Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 85	Maybe I am a moron, but how can a solid copper bullet have the right diameter and sufficient seating depth and weigh less than half of a smaller sized lead bullet (185 gr) or a third of a well-accepted standard (230 gr)? IF I remember my science courses correctly, copper is only 20-25% less dense than lead. Regards, Kris

Quote At the heart of NovX ammunition is the exclusive, cutting-edge SST Stainless Steel/NAS3 shell casing. Stainless is stronger than brass, delivers more energy to achieve unmatched velocity and power, and is vastly superior across all levels of performance. Instead of energy lost when brass expands and contracts upon firing, the stainless steel case of NovX ammunition generates energy gains through limited expansion, allowing more energy to be directed at driving the projectile forward at previously unattainable velocities Now, first, the stainless case must expand enough to seal the chamber, no? Or am I missing something. Second, could the "previously unattainable velocities" be achieved through much much higher pressures? And how much higher? I've seen mention of the cases in the gun literature, but I don't recall seeing the pressure levels mentioned. I wonder, especially with that .223 round in an AR, will upgraded buffers or recoil springs be necessary? Will use void a mfg warranty?
