    plated vs coated lead bullets?

    I've shot over 20,000 HI TEK coated bullets in 40 & 9mm for competition shooting. When I am running low of my own cast and coated I use Missouri Bullet Company and Acme HI TEK coated bullets. I have no issues with leading and they are very clean shooting and accurate. I use WST powder in my 40...

    Accuracy of hi tek coated bullets versus plain lead at distance

    I agree variation from one side to the other will throw off balance that's why jacket uniformity on match bullets is critical.

    Accuracy of hi tek coated bullets versus plain lead at distance

    I would like to know what "a lot" is as well. I shoot thousands of cast bullets a year in USPSA matches and switched to HI TEK coated and saw no discernible difference in accuracy. Admittedly I am not a bullseye shooter so my shooting skills may not be able to discern the difference.

    Any reports on the 22TCM from guys that own one?

    I have the 22TCM/9MM combo. 22TCM is a lot of fun to shoot. It draws a lot of attention, sounds like a big magnum going off but feels like a 22 magnum. The handgun is real reliable in both 22TCM and 9MM as long as you are shooting round nose bullets with the 9 barrel. Not a lot of reloading...
