For what it's worth I relaod tons of ammo. 75% of that is lead. With the cost of components going up and the fact that I now own a MK2 that I want to shoot the $hi! out of I am faced with having to look for something oher than lead. The plated bullets are a substantial savings over jacketed. I purchased 500 230gr Rainer bullets for under $50. Winchester 230gr FMJ were $17 per 100 at local dealer, that would be $85 b4 tax. With that said, the seed I would be pushing the Rainers at out of my MK23 would be <950FPS which should not peel the plating off. To be quite honest, I will be working on as slow a bullet as possble. If I do not find something with the Rainers that I am hapy with then I will just move on and suck it up with FMJ's. I am looking to hit the range sometime b4 X-mas.
With teh cost of ammo on teh rise I am surprised that HK Pro doesnt have a reloading section. But then again, what do I know... I'm the NEWB in these parts!
