[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2911625, member: 3099"] Sorry but I just looked at their site and their labeling "TMJ" and then telling you that they are copper plated bullets is almost a bait and switch IMO. TMJ is Total Metal Jacket. Plated bullets aren't jacketed at all. Their "bonded" lead core are nothing more than coated cast lead from the looks of them. I'd bet that ammo is as crappy as their business model. To be honest I've gotten better accuracy with a coated lead bullet (overall) than with plated. Plated bullets are a crapshoot. My 686 does OK with them but my 625 throws them like a shotgun pattern at 25. You can get very good accuracy out of a quality coated lead bullet (Bayou, S&S, ACME, BBI, etc.). I've shot thousands of them. To know for sure you need to put them on paper from a rest. [/QUOTE]
