Well, some time back I ran out of plated bullets and almost out of jacketed bullets and just flat could not find anything that I preferred. Only thing I could find was some 9mm 115 gr plain lead bullets made by an outfit out of Breckenridge, TX. It's time to do some 9mm reloading again and I have not yet used those lead unplated bullets. The pistol in question is a Beretta PX4, and when I was loading plated bullets I had to load them pretty much at the jacketed bullet levels for the pistol to function correctly. I guess it's a little stiff still. There were no problems with the plated bullets, but now I'm down to the unplated stuff. I shoot plain lead (wadcutters and Keith) all day long in my 38 and 357, but do any of you have any history (good or bad) with lead RN 115 grainers in your 9mm.
Should I just use them for fishing weights and buy some more plated, which I guess is available now? I'm not exactly out of ammo just yet, so it's no big deal to wait for a delivery. I just have these bullets and hate to have wasted my money if I don't use them.
Thanks for the help.
