• The problem with plated bullets is that the plating varies from lot-to-lot and maker-to-maker. The one thing my testing has shown is that if you are serious about target loads, then DON'T use plated bullets. It's not that they're all "bad", but rather so dang "inconsistent". Accuracy (putting the next bullet hole right next to the last one) boils down to extreme consistency. What good does it do to go to extremes with powder measurement when the bullets are all different weights and plating thicknesses ?
• The very best bullets I can find in bulk at any price are made by Precision Delta and Zero. However, Rocky Mountain Reloading (RMR) is sneaking up on these guys fast ! Their combination of quality, consistency and bulk delivered price absolutely cannot be beat. And on top of that is the THR 5% discount just for being a member here.
With the price of primers and powder so high right now, it's just silly to be shooting junk bullets and getting mediocre results. It's time to "step up your game" with some truly GREAT bullets.
