If anyone's interested in some plated bullets I'm getting some delivered in about 4-5 weeks (hopefully ready for collection at the Phoenix) and these will be available

9mm (.356) RN 123g £60/1000 or 145g £65/1000
.357 (.358) FP 158g £70/1000
.44 (.429) RNFP 240g £95/1000
.45 ACP (.451) 230g RN £90/1000

I've got about 5-8K of each size left over if anyone wants some.

Do you mean jacketed.

No, these are plated, totally encased but a thinner "jacket" than a traditional FMJ

So what's the advantage of plated bullets. I have all ways used cast boolits in those calibres.

I'm sure everyone has an opinion as to which is best, cast, plated or jacketed but I've found them more consistent, cleaner and more accurate than the cast lead equivalent.
