The prices and available bullet list at betterbullets from King of Prussia, PA look better than moyerscastbullets. I had very positive experience with another PA company, betterbullets. The bullets, which I analyzed, have 17.2 BHN and, according to XRF analysis contain Pb-Sn-Sb in 91.5-1.9-6.6 percentage ratio. Almost 2% tin gives good filling of the bold. This is more tin than in tntreloading and mastrebastbullets stuff that also has been analyzed. In addition of regular lube in grooves the bullets are covered with thin film that prevents oxidation: after couple of months the bullets are still shiny. They accept only phone and fax orders, but the prices are worth the call. And I got my shipment in less than a week, may be even faster, do not remember.

I love this site!

How about for cast rifle bullets?

http://www.tjconevera.com sells Berry's plated bullets and in the 9mm is less exspenive than the above site.
Any reason to use a cast lead bullet instead of a plated bullet?

Overall, occasionnally, in certain circumstances.
In typical 9mm loads, nope, if price & availabbility
is favorable for plated, go for it.

None whatsoever IMO unless you can get plain lead cheaper.

The only conceivable thing that I could think of, which is right out of my ass (ROMA), is plated or jacketed bullets can potentially wear down the barrel rifling quicker than a cast bullet. The cast bullet is lubricated and softer than copper plate.

Remember, this is ROMA! I'm wondering what the BHN for jacket bullets are. Anyone have that info?

A lot softer than steel.
