MBC tells you how to determine if their bullets will work with your loads. Obviously you don't want to use lead at 4000 fps.

Lead bullets won't work for all loads, but they give you the information you need to decide if they will. At the price difference of about 2 1/2 times the price for jacketed, it'd be worth your time to check it out.
I will say I was pretty impressed by the owner when I talked to him. I told him the charge I was using he knew the MV and pressure off the top of his head. I knew the correct MV, but not the pressure.
unfy:
For most plinking and practice - lead.
For occaissional tests with a jacketed round to "proper" pressure, the 250 pack at kabela's should do nicely... ya shouldn't be making too many.
For self defense - buy some factory loads for legal reasons.

With lead in .40, I believe I'm running approximately 70% of the initial starting load listed in speers / hornady books. Something there abouts. Within 1.5 grains of the same powder, I found virtually no leading, moderate leading, heavy leading, light leading... in that order while increasing the charge and keeping all other components the same. I'm unsure what MV I'm generating, but it seems to safely get the bullet down range and cycle the gun... and isn't too indifferent from full charges recoil wise (although less snappy).

Plinking and range work. I already bought a box of the CMPHP's and am currently loading them. Just looking for a less expensive solution. Also, the box I bought are 180gr and I am looking for a lighter round. 160, 155, somewhere in that area.
