I just heard about this the other day. Sucks. Though I've never used any of their bullets before. SOOOO many bullet companies I honestly don't know how some survive.
Sure is!isn't it fantastic that there's *SO MANY OPTIONS*?
Why are coated better? I use Rainier and like them.
Nailed it.Don't get me wrong..... I have no beef with plated .....shot many many thousands of 230 RN, and found them to fill the niche between smoky dirty lead and pricey jacketed nicely. With the advent of polymer coatings however I do find the coated bullets leave the bore significantly cleaner than anything else, make power factor with less powder, can be driven to much higher velocities and in my opinion group a little tighter than the plated. I do think a very high quality jacketed hollow point is still king of the hill, but you really pay a premium for that consistency which most of us can't use anyway.
I'm willing to part with them for a princely sum, PM me for pricing!
