[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 1295441, member: 3615"] Montana gold 115's are less than $75 per K to your door, Berry's 115's are $80 to your door. In 180gr 40's the Berry's and MG's are equal in price. In 230gr 45 you finally see the plated bullets cheaper than jacketed, but only by $15 per K. The MG bullets are also much better performers. Rainier bullets from what I can find are even more expensive. So unless there's an even cheaper source of plated bullets out there I maintain that the heirarchy of bullet cheapness goes like this: Lead Moly/other coated (like bayou bullets etc.) Jacketed And just skip the plated bullets since all the above bullets perform very well and the cheaper two save you a good amount of green I've actually found I can push hardcast lead bullets to higher velocities than plated. I've had J&K's 180gr 40's up over 1000 fps with no problems whatsoever [/QUOTE]
