Earlier today I was in my local Cal-Ranch. They had 3 boxes of Speer 124 grain TMJ bullets on clearance for $55 per box of 600. Normally, I cast my own but, high lead levels have made me back down for awhile so I picked these up. I figured they are TMJ bullets so they won't be as big of a deal as shooting cast.
Anyway, a buddy is telling me that these are not jacketed at all but that they are just plated bullets. Is this correct? On Speer's sight, they say they are jacketed. On other sights, people claim they are plated. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Also, my 92fs barrel is a bit oversize (.358) which was the reason I started casting my own in the first place. I am assuming that, if they are plated, that they are not going to obdurate any better than cast are so accuracy will be an issue.
I would be grateful to any of you folks with first-hand experience with these if you can share your thoughts. Thanks.
