    Interesting.
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    Dale, he was shit faced when he ordered these. It runs in the family.

    If the computer had had a Breathalyzer attached, it would have prevented him from ordering plated HPs.

    I loaded a couple thousand 180 plated HPs in 40 and 10mm but they just never were that great and were all over the place but I noticed you need to flare the opening a good bit to get the billets to seat properly without tearing the plating off. I did have much better luck with the plated 9mm though

    How much would you want for the 9mm

    yeah? i dont know the real difference i suppose. is plated more like what you would find on 22lr rounds? that slight layer of copper that looks like it was electroplated on there?

    E.$, Here's a project that might interest you. Spent 22lr cased used to make jackets for 223 and 243 bullets. Crunch numbers to see if it's any money in it.
