[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1394820, member: 423"] Yeah, I would pony up just a little more and get true jacketed bullets, that way if you want to load hotter to replicate self defense rounds, you have that option, whereas with plated you are limited to more cast lead territory for velocity. If you want cheap, shoot hard cast lead bullets at mild velocity and check the barrel bore regularly. Unless there's something I'm not aware of, it's a barrel, it may or may not lead badly, and you won't know until you shoot lead through it. Yes, I know the rifling is different (polygonal), but my engineering brain still hasn't figured out how that automatically should mean lead should be off limits. My one piece of advice, would be check it regularly, and clean it thoroughly before switching from cast lead to jacketed. [/QUOTE]
