Hi everyone,
Don't know how much attention everyone pays to these things, but the price of metals is going to be going up quite a bit in the near future. Lead, copper, brass all included. My company does a lot of work with steel (I'm a metallurgist) and prices could be going up 25-35% in the near future.
Knowing that, I was going to use some of my next paycheck to buy metallic reloading components in bulk and try to "lock in" current costs for a year or two. Could mean buying 5k 9mm bullets, maybe 2.5k 45s. So, looking to buy soon and don't have 6 months to trial a bunch of things.
My question is about the tradeoffs between Berry's (or anyone's) plated bullets vrs ACME (or anyone's) polymer coated bullets. What do people prefer and why?
The primary use is plinking and USPSA. Looking for 140-150 grain 9mm and 230-250 grain .45.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you can provide!
