I just shot some Xtreme Bullets' "heavy plated" 180grn flat points in .40. The initial test results are encouraging, but the cost is so close to actual jacketed bullets, I'm not sure it's worth it. I think it was only 15-18 bucks per thousand difference. It would be much greater if the Xtreme folks would give up the shipping costs. That would get my attention.
They do run specials and % off pretty regularly.
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.
