    You don't want to shoot these jacketed WC bullets below mid power. Low power jacketed bullets can stick in the barrel do to high friction and the barrel gap will bleed off the gas. Plain lead is ok in low power though. Don't want to rain on the fun but this can happen.

    Be careful with those, you have a good potential for core/jacket separation with zero ogive on that. I use BT sniper set up for making JHP using 40S&W spent brass as jackets, makes beautiful bullets for the same price as your wadcutters or cheaper.

    I have a somewhat silly question on these (specifically the last 3 on the right). Would they work in Glock/HK polygonal barrels? Or am I just asking for trouble?

    The three on the right would work in your Glock, as long as you keep the power up on the loads and don't try to download them.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks, guess I just got a little paranoid about that little bit of lead on the sides.
