YMMV from distributor to distributor, but I think you will find that is 
not a nylon core, but  just a different color dacron. At least what I 
have here  is not nylon and does not stretch like nylon.  The stretch in 
50 to 100' of 3/16" nylon is 3 to 5 feet over a day or two. I'm using 
the 5/16 that looks as you describe, as a back guy for a 30' 25 G I use 
to pull up a 40' aluminum tower with a 30' vertical on top (AV-640) and 
it has not had to be retensioned in two years.
