Rainer plated HP's ?
« on: September 20, 2007, 08:29:25 AM »
Anyone ever use these bullets ? They seem to have a good review and are cheap.

 I have shot the 45, 40, 9mm all shot well and had no problems.
I would shoot them again but now shooting a glock so I've been
advised not to shoot them in a glock. Yes I know that others do
shoot lead and plated with no problems...

I tried the .40 caliber flat points a while back and found that they were too soft and would deform when they hit the feed ramp and cause my pistol to jam.  I never have used any of the other Rainier bullets.

I've shot Rainer 230 grain .45 RN and 147 grain 9mm RN , no problems. But no HP.
