Just a quick survey to see preferences for gallery rifle bullets.

If you could get plated bullets for roughly the same price as lead, would you shoot them instead?

No I wouldn't shoot plated, once I have my bore seasoned for lead I wouldn't want to ruin it.

Also I doubt that I could get plated as good or as cheap as the ones I cast myself, each one fitted to each of my rifles.

Lead only in both my 30.30 Winchester and 45acp Armalon.
Same reasons as Droomie.
