Polycase ammo

The projectiles can be imported without a problem if someone in the US is willing to do the export side of things.
Without published load data not many reloaders will be willing to try them out.
As far as I've read each ammo manufacturer has to be approved by NRCan to be able to be sold here. It can be a lengthy and expensive process involving thousands of rounds of ammo required for testing that someone (the US company or the Canadian importer) has to pay for. Some will probably sneak in here and there with smaller orders but until someone foots the bill for testing it can't be approved and wont be widespread. This is based on my limited knowledge of the process so take it with a grain of salt.
I've thought of using polymer bullets since I do resin (plastic) pressure casting for miniatures as a hobby. Can add various metal powders for weight but they're very pricey. Was considering testing with brass powder but it's $25-30/lbs. Never got around to it though.

I am always skeptical, but would love to buy a few boxes and prove myself wrong 
I like that it is veteran owned!!
I would give it a fair try, ut sure is hard to beat the tried/tested and true though!
I would worry that if this gained in popularity it would get the ball rolling for a total lead ammo ban

I'd be a bit nervous about that as well the alternative plastic will more than likely be more expensive and that would help the banners even more.
Low production, copper dust filler in the plastic, specialized product, small customer base... it'll be quite expensive.
