Because I don't have a breathalyzer attached to my computer.
Figured I would try and make lemonade out of my martini.

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
i never have had the chance to load my own, but (factory ammo) 180 grn jhp rounds tend to be the favorite of my Beretta.
Jacketed > Plated by a lot
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.

thats pretty interesting. makes me wish i had held on to a pile of 22lr brass. i'll be damned if i can find the prices on the various parts though.
