Nyclad = Unobtainium

If you have any Federal Nyclad rounds in your stash, don't go shooting them off.

I asked Federal about the chance of ever ordering some. This is the reply that I received:
At this time there are no plans to load Nyclad bullets in .38 spl or any other caliber.

Thanks
Federal Cartridge
Some of the ballistic testing I've seen has concluded that .38 Special Nyclads, and not +P, is an effective round for snubbies. Hell, that's what Smith & Wesson developed the round for, back when they called it the "Chief's Special" round.

Shoot everything else, but save the Nyclads!

If you take nearly any bullet and tumble it with Molybdenum powder, you can get the same slickness and therefore speed (and nearly no leading).

'Course you gotta do your won loading them....

I think I might possibly have a box or two of .38 Special Nyclads in my stash. I'll try to check it out over the next few days. E-mail me if I haven't gotten back to you by Wednesday.
