Each to their own, I suppose, but I won't be shooting much 9mm ammo at a buck a round.

Speaking of lead free ammo....was over at Wally World the other day and saw a new load they were carrying, Winchester 30/30 Power-Core. Lead free 150gr HP, 2390fps at the muzzle, 2047fps at 100yds. Bought a box to try out.

Checked it out. I'll pass.
Love the current 9mm Federal HST - videos on THAT are quite impressive.
