I like to buy lead for cost savings and accuracy.
I like to buy L-SWC or JHPs for accuracy.
Plated are, at best from my tests, good for about 4" at 25 yards on a good day.
For 9mm 124gn:
Berry's 9mm 124gn P-RN: $97.19/1000 (say, 10 cents/bullet)
X-treme 9mm 124gn P-RN: $285/3750 (say, 8 cents/bullet)
Precision Delta 9mm 124gn FMJ: $88/1000 for 2000 or more (say, 9 cents/bullet)
Precision Delta swaged and coated 125gn L-RN: $225/3500 (say, 6.5 cents/bullet)
The last two are VERY accurate, particularly compared to the first two in my guns.
I'll take jacketed over plated any day and if the difference in price is less than 2 cents/bullet, I really have no choice.
Precision Delta has ALWAYS been my favorite supplier in that their prices are fantastic, their product is fantastic, and the people there are also fantastic. They have a current promotion for their remanufactured ammo ... You might want to look at what they have!
