Hi all,
I am looking for some inexpensive bullets to reload in .400 CORBON, and I already have had good results with Rainier 200gr HP bullets in my .45ACP reloads. I would like to use 135gr HP bullets over AA#5 (which I already use for reloading .380). This should get me about 1400fps.
My question: is this too fast for copper plated bullets? Should I really be using FMJ bullets for 1400fps? I have read recommendations that anything over 1200fps is too fast for the plated bullets.
Thanks!
