Plastic bullets??
The bullet is a conventional jacketed lead design.
The only 'plastic' in it is the tip that effects the expansion when it hits.

Hornady FTX - I have seen them for sale.

I missed that part!

I remember reading about those at one time!

I occasionally mess with the Speer .357 plastic 'trainer' bullets but they are not quite up to that level of performance!
