Anyone every tried Magnus Bullets (www.magnusbullets.com) in their reloads, particularly for pistols? If so, how did they perform/what did you think of them?

Quite honestly, these hard cast bullets cost as much as plated bullets from Extreme Bullets. I do 100% of my own casting. In all the pistols I have. Every size and weight. In addition, I swage jacketed bullets for 380 auto, 9mm, .40, .44. .45, and .500. So, the only bullets I buy are for my NRA reloading classes. My insurance company doesn't want me using home made bullets for the classes. Rainier sends me free samples as does Extreme. Both are in the same price range as the source you suggest. At the same or similar price, I would always prefer to use plated.
