How well does cast lead perform in 9mm?
|
Hard cast works well for me in my P89. Not much a P89 wont eat though.
I second the poster who said think about plated as well. powdervalley has good plated 9mm bullets for around 7cents by the 1000 (figure 8 cents with shipping). If you arent looking to break the 1200fps barrier I think Berry's makes an excellent projectile for the 9mm. I favor a 124gr HBFP myself.
On the other hand, if you want to stick with FMJ, Precision Delta will ship you 2000 FMJ for 8.5cents each. Depending on how much you shoot, that might be inexpensive enough to just skip the hard cast altogether.
With the good bullet prices that are available now you can shoot any of the 3 types of bullets (cast/plated/fmj) for roughly 6.5-8.5 cents a bullet. You might find a few cheaper, and can easily find more expensive, but if you are buying by the 1000 you can easily stay well under 10 cents a 9mm bullet.
