Polycase claims that the ARX “tumbles in a controlled, predictable fashion that delivers very consistent terminal performance that equals or exceeds conventional hollow point designs.”
The projectile weighs 70 percent as much as a lead projectile of the same size, so it travels at a higher velocity. The ARX round boasts a 99 percent weight retention and does not deform upon impact with soft tissue, but still breaks up against hard surfaces to minimize ricochets and overpenetration, and is safe for use with suppressors. PolyCase also produces round and truncated nose polymer projectiles, as well as a short-range tracer polymer projectile.
The Inceptor ARX is currently available in .380, 9mm, .40, .45 Auto, .357 Sig, and .458 SOCOM. MSRP is around $29 per box of 25 or 20 rounds, depending on caliber.
