MBC softball grooveless 45 acp

[Waterboy3313]

Just ordered 500 of these:

Softball!-Grooveless
.452 Diameter
.45 ACP
230 Grain RN - Grooveless
Brinell 18
For General Shooting
Hi-Tek 2-Extreme Coating

Just curious if anyone else is using these? My Kimber 45 acp has only seen plated and FMJ bullets all of which have been 230gr RN. I have loaded lead for my 357/38 special pistols with great results but I've never tried anything coated. These will be used for general plinking use. I've been watching for rmr to have 230gr RN FMJ bullets in stock since my last order and still nothing available.
I figured I would give these a try and I am hoping I made a half way good decision.
I was really hopeful that I will hear some good feedback about these.

Just watch your plunk test. You'll likely have to seat them deeper than other RN you've used.

Good call as I usually seat at 1.245-1.262 depending on my usual loads.

You’ll like the Hitek coated bullets. As long as you get them seated to plunk, they’ll be great. Kiss leading issues goodbye (compared to conventional lubed lead).
I like them better than plated. Currently I use Hitek coated SWC bullets which I prefer for target shooting, but I’ve shot plenty of the RN too.
