when I was digging in the ammo looking for the Accelerators I found some Nyclads in 357 ! Forgot all about these, they are a soft lead coated in Teflon I believe.....80's ?

marketed for indoor shooting with less lead vapor in the air, people began to use them as a SD round because the dead soft lead had great expansion with short barrel revolvers. They were a bit of a legend for a while, still a good performer I imagine......then there has all the "hype" about vest penetration in the 9mm but I don't think the soft lead would penetrate that good at all against anything other than soft target
