What is your take on plated bullets.
I've used them with fairly good success in reloads for target practice. Take for example Berry's plated bullets, you get a 250 count box of bullets (only) that run cost wise anywhere from 25 to35 bucks.
Smaller bullets 9mm etc. are less larger bullets .45ACP etc. are more. Yet the cost savings over conventional jacketed bullets is considerable and for reloaders on a budget. That's a good thing. Agree!
I've heard they can shed the plating at high velocity or if the crimp is such that it cuts through the 5 to 7 thousandths of an inch plating. I've never had the problem. So I have no first hand knowledge in that regard.
Merry Christmas!
and a Happy new year.
