Question of the minutes
 

What do you guys prefer to load lead or other.

I don't load much lead at all but the cost is very appealing. I use Hornady for self d loads and Rainer, Berry's for range rounds for my .45.

I am so tempted to use lead because of cost. I can get them from a LGS for 1/2 the price of plated....

Talk me into or out of it..what do you use.....

Does anyone use lead in the 10MM? I use Hornady and Nosler for my 10MM mostly because they are the only ones you can push out to 1400+....

thanks

If this has been talked about before I apologize in advance

45 ACP Lead for targets, FMJ for SD same with 357 mag, rifle Ballistic Tip, or FMJ,

I don't use much lead anymore to be honest. Just my preference.

I don't use lead because the range i use requires plated bullets. I haven't fired a pure lead bullet since my muzzleloader days.

I like lead for cost reasons. Several years ago I decided to buy a pistol in .40 because of all the free brass that I kept finding at the range. I picked up a Steyr M40 because it has standard non-polygonal rifling and a fully supported chamber (unlike some .40 designs) specifically so I could shoot lead in it. Oh, and it's a cool gun, that you could buy new at the time for $300! I also shoot lead in .45 auto.

I load lead 230 grain from Falcon bullets....good price, fast shipping. .45 doesn't go fast enough to worry about much leading, and what little there is, a couple passes with Chore Boy takes it out. In 10mm, I think leading would come into play

If you really want to save money, cast your own. My current batch of 45 ACP components cost 7 cents per round. Before Obama got elected it was 5 cents per round. Inflation's a b*tch :)

To put it in perspective: $3.50 per box of 50. $70 per THOUSAND rounds.

My SIG Ultra Carry has never had a jacketed round through it since I bought it. Neither has my 44 Special Charter Target Bulldog.

I may have to look at lead a bit more searosly for range shooting. I dont' worry about the leading, I can clean that out....

I can not cast at home, not set up for that and really don't want to..someday maybe...

Had anyone had any ACME lead? Just saw it today at a LGS here, looked ok cheap enough but never heard of it...

I've tried lead cast...ok for outdoor ranges...too smokey for indoor ranges. I'll stick to plated bullets from Xtreme.
