Hello all,

So thus far i've been reloading my .45 ACP with a 230gn Rainier LeadSafe Plated round nose bullets.
Otherwise seen here: http://www.midwayusa.com/produ...in-plated-round-nose

I'm looking for some alternate options for loading my .45. While I love these bullets, I am ready to buy some serious bulk for
loading my .45.

So here are some thoughts for you guys:

What are the pros and cons of using a lead bullet that is not plated?
What about FMJ round?

and most importantly,
Is there another .45 ACP round that I can get cheaper that works fine for target shooting? If so, whats it called and where can I buy it?

Thanks a lot guys! Look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Drew
