I shoot them a good bit - 9/40/45 - I get better results with jacketed bullets for the most part, but for economy and range practice they are just fine. The copper is thick enough to prevent leading, but not very thick - do not think of them as jacketed or use if jacketed are required.

If you have a chrongraph you can verify velocity for the lead loads and make adjustments as indicated.
