On another note.... I looked at the 230gr bullet in question. The ad says "Montana"... and the price works out to about 8 cents a piece. The ad also says "Plated". Which confused me a bit. If by "Montana" the seller means Montana Gold Bullets, then the "plated" statement is suspect. I just checked Montana Gold, and they use a FMJ copper jacket, not plating (as Berrys does). If these are truly Montana Gold, then the cost new would be about 17 cents each, which makes the 8 cents per piece price "not bad" for those who prefer not to shoot lead or coated bullets. I wouldn't use "pulls" in competition, but for the average range rat reloader, none of these choices are too bad.
Just my 2 Cents...
