Understandable, considering the unique nature of the product . In addition to the product demo, we talked to Tony Padgett from PCP last week and passed along a few of the questions you asked.<\/p> <h3><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.1;\">Q&amp;A with Tony Padgett from PCP<\/span><\/h3> <p><strong>Lucky Gunner: A lot of people are asking about whether PCP can be reloaded. The PCP website says that it&#8217;s not recommended at this time. Can you elaborate on that?<\/strong><\/p> <p><em>Tony Padgett: The case capacity is different. It\u2019s slightly less than a standard .308 case so if you take your typical load recipe out of a book, those pressures are not going to be the same. You could take a max load of a powder that doesn&#8217;t fill to full capacity and put that in our case and get significantly higher pressures because the capacity is different.\u00a0We\u2019re still talking through the business aspects for just selling cases. We have several ammunition manufacturers who are interested in loading polymer cases in their name and everything else.<\/em> <em>I would expect at some point we\u2019ll put some information out on those loads we feel work well. At this point, we haven\u2019t loaded a whole lot of different projectiles. We only typically use about four different projectiles [for .308]; 168, 175, we shot a lot of 180 ball for military stuff but we haven\u2019t targeted the reloaders yet.<\/em> <em>Our ballistician somehow manages to shoot a lot more than the number of cases we give him. But we cannot recommend that it should be promoted at this point. We know that our loads are safe but we can\u2019t say if others will be.<\/em><\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-3.jpg\" alt=\"Spent PCP .308 Cases\" width=\"683\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-3.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-3-542x450.jpg 542w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-3-350x291.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The [PCP] case capacity is different. It\u2019s slightly less than a standard .308 case so if you take your typical load recipe out of a book, those pressures are not going to be the same.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote> <p><strong>LG: Is there any chance we&#8217;ll ever see PCP ammo loaded with expanding bullets for hunting?<\/strong><\/p> <p><em>TP:\u00a0We\u2019re actually looking at that right now. Component availability is still challenging at this time. The big thing is trying to find projectiles that work with our current inventory of powders. We can\u2019t make large changes in our projectiles and still use the same powders. Right now, we\u2019re looking at 165 grain Sierra GameKing and we\u2019ve had great luck with that one. That\u2019s probably the first one we\u2019d put out hunting-wise.<\/em> <em> We\u2019re still collecting information from this initial release. We\u2019re hoping the majority of the people who did participate will fill out the questionnaire and get us that data.<\/em><\/p> <p><strong>LG:\u00a0<\/strong><b>What do you believe this ammunition offers that a traditional brass cased round does not?<\/b><\/p> <p><em>TP: It depends on the shooter. Obviously, the initial design goal was to reduce the weight; achieve the same performance as M80 ball and reduce the weight. Our cases weigh about half of what a brass case weighs. We have found other benefits. For instance, reduced chamber temperatures.<\/em><\/p> <figure id=\"attachment_386\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-386\" style=\"width: 651px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-2.jpg\" alt=\"Federal Gold Medal and PCP\" width=\"651\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-2.jpg 651w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-2-458x450.jpg 458w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-2-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-2-350x344.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 651px) 100vw, 651px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left: Federal Gold Medal Match.

In one case, they ran a string of 300 to 400 rounds through an <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/M249_light_machine_gun\">M249<\/a> then they shoved their finger in the chamber right after. I wouldn\u2019t recommend doing that with brass ammo.\u00a0<\/em><\/p> <p><strong>LG:\u00a0Is there an advantage to a cooler chamber? Isn\u2019t the barrel still getting hot from the gases that propel the bullet out?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> <p><em>TP:\u00a0Your chamber will get hot because that heat is going to conduct through the barrel back to the chamber. Typically, metals will wear more when they&#8217;re hot. So in applications where you are heating things up significantly, it will reduce wear. But it&#8217;s not your typical shooter that will notice that \u2013 it\u2019s machine guns \u2013 things like that.<\/em> <em>For most people, we have found that they get better accuracy from our cases than a typical brass case. That\u2019s a tough thing to prove because if you\u2019re shooting our factory load, that\u2019s not really optimized for any firearm, it\u2019s built to be used in gas guns, bolt guns, different chamber configurations. If you\u2019re a handloader, you\u2019re going to get better performance out of whatever is configured for your gun. However, if you take a polymer case versus a brass case, you\u2019re going to see better groupings with the polymer case.<\/em> <em>You get better powder ignition because one of the things that happens when the cartridge is fired &#8212; the powder in the case that is along the walls of the brass case, burns much, much slower because the brass case is absorbing that heat and transferring it to the chamber. It doesn\u2019t burn as consistently. If you put an insulator in there, the powder can burn much more efficiently. More consistent powder burn leads to better precision.<\/em><\/p><p><\/p> <figure id=\"attachment_373\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-373\" style=\"width: 715px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-1a.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-1a-600x344.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger SR762 with PCP ammo\" width=\"715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-1a-600x344.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-1a-768x441.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-1a-350x201.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/PCP-1a.jpg 1011w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1.49&#8243; group achieved with a Ruger SR762 using PCP ammo.
