Ranier LeadSafe Bullets

As seen in this link: MidwayUSA - Rainier LeadSafe Bullets 45 Caliber (451 Diameter) 185 Grain Plated Flat Nose Box of 100

Anyone use these ever?? One guys review said his 1911 fed it fine but his glock and XD didn't

I'm thinking of ordering up 100 of them to see how the fair but wanted to get some opinions on them first

I've used the 200 grain RN, and 230 grain hollow points with the only problem being not ordering enough... They work great, and cant beat the price.

If your only punching holes in paper they are definately the way to go.

At current prices, the Ranier & Berry's are really not much of a bargain anymore. There are several places you can get FMJ for the same or even abit less.

I'm just blowing up soda cans and phone books so I don't need hot loads, just something strong enough to cycle the action
