Savannah, GA –-(Ammoland.com)- 150 years ago hunters and shooters sat around campfires employing the time honored process of casting bullets for use during the next day’s outing.
Fast forward to 2015, that casting process of old has evolved into the PolyCase Ammunition way – a proprietary, technically advanced and fully automated injection-molded process.
Over the last five years Paul Lemke and JC Marin, along with the PolyCase Ammunition team, have tirelessly worked to develop this innovative technology that delivers accurate, lightweight, and reliable ammunition free of lead and the grey waste and heavy metal waste streams present with traditional manufacturing methods.
Founded by Lemke and Marin, the Savannah, Georgia based PolyCase Ammunition cut its proverbial teeth producing injection-molded precision parts from cutting-edge materials.

Lemke, a retired Army Ranger, had seen first-hand the need for smarter ammunition–from soldiers on the battlefield to civilian shooters and Law Enforcement personnel–and recognized the inherent possibilities present in the injection-molding process.
“From Formula One engine parts to ammunition, we are a precision injection molding company at heart,” said Lemke.
“Because we are approaching ammunition from a different angle, and own and control the research, development, prototyping, testing and manufacturing processes from the drawing board up to the finished product, we are able to carefully consider and determine all aspects of how our products are made to how they function.”
Using a proprietary lead-free copper alloy with a high-tensile strength nylon binder, PolyCase Ammunition Cu/P bullets and cartridges reduce weight, eliminate corrosion and cost less than traditional ammunition, and stand as a true game changer in a 140-year-old industry that has shown little innovation in manufacturing methods.
Environmental concerns and the proposed regulation of lead-based ammunition continue to dominate fireside conversations, shooting benches and legislative chambers while the calls for safe, non-toxic ammunition grow ever louder.
PolyCase Ammunition provides discerning individuals effective, reliable, accurate and lightweight, lead-free alternative ammunition for the 21st century.

I have shot the 9mm and 380 out of pocket guns and i was very impressed with the way they performed. There was noticable recoil reduction in my nano. The 380 doesnt have much anyway but the bullets performed well in a broken in glock 42- there has been some issues with new 42s and Fte’s. I am not a balistics expert but damage to hogs with the 9mm is impressive and with a 458 socom i imagine you would already have the sausage made. The arx bullet churns the flesh and fluids redirecting them into a damage inducing fountain… Read more »
From what I have seen of the results it appears as if the bullets go through hard substances directly ,but when in soft tissue they start to tumble causing a large wound area. They go end over end!!
Does the bullet retain rifling marks from the barrel? Is the spent bullet traceable to a specific firearm and can it be compared to a lead bullet for forensic purposes? I would really like to know this, if not on this forum then in company literature.
I just read the shot show report written in Guns&Ammo magazine. I’ve not seen or tryed this ammo but stand by the old saying, believe nothing you here and part of what you see. By what was in the article, it stated that it was very fast, and gave consistently large cavity with up to 12 to 14 inches. Giving up all energy dump in that space. ( This is what’s reported in the story). I’m old school ands always thought the , bigger, heavier, faster the better it was. I also believe in looking for something better. I agree… Read more »
Take a walk down any major roadway and look at all the lead wheel weights in the gutter. I walk from 2 to 4 miles at lunch every day and retrieve between 1/2 pound and one pound of lead wheel weights per day. And they are worried about lead bullets?
Elemental lead is not the form of lead that produces all of the negative effects – lead acetate and other alloys are very toxic to humans and animals. Look it up.
If you think lead is non-toxic, you are an idiot
Think I’ll pass, don’t much like the idea of trying to clean a build up of plastic out of my barrel, copper is bad enough, plus they seem lacking knock down power, sorry think your on to a loser.
Guys. I am a FFL in south Florida. There’s this new ammo called Libery civil defense that I have in stock. It’s aluminum ammo and it’s super fast and light. 9mm is 2000 feet per second, the 10mm is 2400 feet per second. The 45 is 76 grain and shoots 1900 feet per second. That’s crazy. It literally explodes on impact. Like a grenade. I will be writing a blog about the benefits and I carry this in my guns. It can go through walls, car doors, 2×4. They shoot a ham and the hand Blow up. Lighter ammo is… Read more »
Leak toxins into the ground? Would that be the same ground that the lead was mined in the first place? Lead comes from the ground…How is it that people forget that when they talk about the toxicity of it? Because enviromental whackos have brain washed you into thinking that somehow lead is this evil thing that has no place in modern daily life…The truth is that lead is one of the only materials that is worth a crap for making projectiles…In order to maintain the kinetic energy stored in it, a projectile needs to be made from a heavy, dense… Read more »
