The cartridge's I'm shooting are 9mm , 357 , & 45acp
I've been shooting a lot of steel at 50 and 100yds lately and it "seem" to me that the Rainier plated bullets are not the best thing for longer distances . I'll be shooting at a 10" gong at 100yds and either be hitting it or be very close and then miss by 6' right then bounce one 20' short or something . Just missing so bad I think it's the bullet rather then me . You know cus I'm so good
Do any manufactures make a match quality handgun bullet . Meaning putting the type of QC and consistency you would see with SMK . ELD match , Berger etc . I know some are better then others but I'm talking a true "match" ( for lack of a better word/term ) bullet ?
Now in general I was thinking jacketed or plated but would just switching over to pure lead or coated lead be a more consistent choice ? Since I started loading for my handguns I've avoided non-coated lead bullets but have recently started buying some pure lead or powder coated lead . Both with Br of 12 and 18 . It seems as I read about lead that guys tend to think and or know the softer lead bullets shoot more accurately . Is that accurate
