    Huh. I thought "Uni Cor" was a soldered core. That bullet has all the hallmarks of a tumble-electroplated swaged lead core.

    I love GDs.

    Blr! Why am I not surprised to find you're on this forum too?

    The ATK guys I have talked to in the past indicated it is plated like you mentioned. Can you explain how the process used for GDs might be better than some of the cheaper plated bullets that don't hold up to velocity?

    I was thinking Hot Cor, not Uni Cor.

    I'm a bullet collector - I have boxes of lathe turned Partitions, Zippedos, and some Hornadys punched out of 22LR empties (pet peeve - every time I hear someone say "casing" I just want to drown a hipster).

    The fine citizens stuck in New Jersey will be happy to hear that

    It should be legal from what I have seen in the past from there. Before I traveled to NJ a few years ago I got a letter from the NJSP Firearms unit that stated Federal EFMJ, Hornady Critical Defense and Cor Bon PowerBall were legal there, due to not being a "hollow point".

    This was pre Critical Duty and such being out. I ended up carrying 124gr +P EFMJ in my G19 and wadcutters in my 638

    This might be my San Francisco ammo as well

    Did they also ban hollow points? I must have missed that.
