they only stock the old crappy laquer coated stuff, and NOT the good polymer stuff.  Just talked to them today about it and confirmed the above info.

some people have had a lot of problems with the laquer melting and gumming up the gun.  The polymer stuff doesnt do that.  I'll try a mag in my gun and see what happens.  If it causes me problems, i'd be more then glad to sell the stuff to you.

Yeah people have been saying that for years.  But you know something, you can heat one of the cases up with a propane torch and the laquer won't melt.  Now if it's not melting from a torch how will it melt in your chamber?

It's more a case of some problems with the dimension of peoples chambers and the elasticity of steel vs brass.

Jams the $hit out of my gun.  The laquer isn't slick enough to chamber a single round.  Won't touch the stuff.

I love the lacquer coated stuff cause people are so afraid of it that I can get it dirt cheap.  Works great in everything I shoot it thru.

its the red sealent around the bullet that gums up the chambers when it gets hot.
