[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 931640, member: 48043"] JE, the op needs opinions on what to do and these are simply our opinions. No argument at all and no worries. At pistol ranges, bc's are less than important so I leave those off the table and look at what I need out of a bullet. If I'm tossing lead for practice I don't need high dollar but I do need accuracy, so a suitable lead or plated bullet ( depending on the firearm) will be my choice. Chasing game with a pistol dictates either a decent jacketed pill like the hdy xtp or a good hardcast pill with a wide metplat for good energy transfer and wound channel. As to gas checks, yep, they can be an issue if not used correctly. You need to be aware that the check needs to be on very snug ( crimped on is best) and if you have a bottleneck cartridge you have to be very aware of your seating depth (as I do with my 375). They do not have to follow the bullet to the target, but need to be uniform in either dropping off or following for accuracy be be anywhere near peak. [/QUOTE]
