Plated Bullets vs. Lead
I have been shooting lead bullets for 9mm & 45 for a while now. On the 9mm I keep the velocity below 1200 FPS (and 45 below 900) & don't seem to have bad leading. Reason I shoot lead is they are cheaper than FMJ bullets. What is the advantage of a copper plated bullet? The cost is a little more than lead, but not as much as a FMJ.
