    I hate played HP bullets

    I really hate these mofos. Like a 10 gauge with a duckbill choke.
    Don't ask why I have so many. Ordered a long time ago when not so sober. The only way I can get them to not spray is to load them like a damn puffball. Don't care for that. Anybody had any luck with them?
    124gr 9mm HP and 180gr 40s&w HP

    Hate to throw them away.

    I use them in 9mm, but I load the lightish. 5.4 grns unique in 9mm.
    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.

    I have not had much luck with plated bullets being as accurate as I'd like. I'm aware there is a magic formula that some claim to have found, but it has eluded me.

    I am going to give some RMR played round nose a shot. If they don't run right I will never buy another plated bullet.
    I know that FMJ precision deltas and lead will give me one hole groups.
    It's just frustrating.

    I have loaded a ton of the 180gr 40's (in a 10mm load) and got good results. Now that is not "good" in the sense a bullseye or benchrest shooter would use. But at out to 20-25 yards I can for sure hit a forehead size target predictably.

    Do you remember the Brand name" of the ones you have? I have seen some that were a real mess, they would produce the shotgun pattern you described.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    They are both Berrys. I think it is the HP that makes them crazy.

    Why use hollow points on plated vs round nose?
