[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3316263, member: 3099"] Sorry, just now saw this post. The PITA is that it's real easy to shave and/or damage the copper coating, it's only about as thick as aluminum foil. It's also fairly easy to crimp right through it so you have to watch that close if you are running unsorted range brass like I do for most of my loads due to varying case length and thickness. I've also had the case swage them down to being undersize after loading just from good neck tension. I had .45s doing this when loaded in military brass. A .452 diameter bullet loaded, then pulled with a kinetic bullet puller was about .4508 IIRC when measured after pulling. Plated bullets need to be treated like dead soft swaged bullets, because that's pretty much what they are. Cost: Berrys 9mm 124 grain Hybrid HP = 12.8 to 12.1 cent apiece. [URL]https://www.berrysmfg.com/product/bp-9mm-356-124gr-hhp[/URL] Precision Delta 124 grain JHP = 20.0 to 8.9 cents apiece depending on qty. You only have to buy 2000 to get them at 8.9 cents and shipping is free. Seems like a no brainer. [URL]https://www.precisiondelta.com/products/9mm-124gr-jhp/[/URL] Acme coated hardcast is 8.75 to 6.5 cents.
