I used to shoot a little lead as well as some power coated. Almost exclusively in 125gr. At the same time I was loading 124gr plated bullets that were roughly 3 CPR more. I never did care to load 115gr bullets and I think non reloaders just "settle" for 115 gr ammo since it's the most common. The additional powder is still less than the heavier bullet cost but after running 124s I'll probably never go lighter.
Lately I've been enjoying 135 gr plated bullets by xtreme. They're sized .356 and have been delightfully accurate. I like that they'll load well in the 38 super too. I also have a couple thousand 147 gr bullets sitting around. I don't mind the heavier bullets but the 135s remain subsonic even approaching the top of the loading spectrum. Otherwise the 147s feel a bit "sluggish" when I run them.
I've also considered "hybrid" bullets(plated hp) or Montana gold hps. Overall I'd love to have a one size fits all bullet. I can't really complain about the xtreme 135s but it would be great if they were available as hollow points.
Anyhow, have any of y'all found the one bullet to rule them all yet ? If so what is it?
