anyone have any issues with copper plated bullets? seems like a good compromise between price and cleanliness compared to bare lead and FMJ. Are there any fouling issues with plated bullets? what about terminal ballistics...do plated hollow points work as well as JHP's???

Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

I use nothing but Rainier plated in my 45, 380, 40, and some 10MM. I don't shoot them past 1,100 fps and only target. No issues with feeding or leading the chamber. -

I've used Ranier, Berrys & X-treme in .38, .357, 9mm & .45ACP. They work great for what they are. Target rounds."He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.

I love me some plated bullets. They come nice and shiny from Berry's too.Comment

Berry's and Ranier by the thousands all good and clean, lead kinda dirty.Originally posted by NOMADCHRISComment

To me plated are the ultimate compromise. Almost as soft as lead, but cleaner. Ideal for indoor shooting where lead inhalation may be a concern.
The only downside is you can not take them to jacketed velocities and they are expensive.Chris

If you buy Montana Gold bullets by the case, they are usually cheaper than Berry's plated bullets and they are JACKETED. For example, case of 4000 9mm, 115gr FMJ is $298 including shipping. Berry's 9mm 115gr RN, $76.12 @ 1000 or 4000 @ $304.48 including shipping.Comment

I prefer lead. Never seen any benefit to plated.
Lead exposure while shooting indoors is mostly from primers not bullets. A proper load with a cast bullet should not lead significantly in a handgun. I'd rather scrub out lube and a little lead than copper fouling any day.Left, not "liberal", not what gets called "left" in American politics, Actually Left, like the government shouldn't be set up to favor certain groups, radically and fanatically left, like the ideas in the American Constitution (except that crap about 3/5ths of a person).Comment
