Polymer Coated Bullets

(Asked this in other topic then decided probably better to start a new one instead of highjack, sorry)

So poly coated bullets look pretty funky.

Supposed to be better for your barrel and you can drive them faster.

Anyone shooting them as their day to day ammo?
CZ 550 Varmint in .308 Winchester.
Ruger Hawkeye in 30-06 Springfield.

I shot them in 9mm in the early nineties, but that was handgun velocities so really not needed.

I have not tried any of the new stuff. Back in the 20th Century I shot some of Federal's Nyclad 38s, the did fine in the Python.
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."
