My only input on this topic is that heavy cast, wide metplat, bullets provide reliable, time proven performance at handgun velocities. Today’s jacketed bullets, while much improved over the years, still leave you with that nagging question.....is this the time it will fail to perform as expected! Any bullet can fail to perform as desired.....but, I’ll stay with the bullet that offers the highest success percentage in expected performance!

Something else to consider, jacketed handgun bullets work best within a fairly narrow velocity window. Cast bullet performance is the same from the muzzle to the range at which it can no longer penetrate to the vitals! memtb
