I have been using Meister Bullets. GS in Minnetonka sells 'em, so does Sportsmen's Warehouse in Coon Rapids. There are other brands around, too, I see Laser-Cast a lot.
Lately, though, I have been moving to plated bullets. No leading, and not much more expensive. Berry's is carried by the new Cabela's in Rogers.
I tried some plated bullets for .45ACP and wasn't all that happy, having only loaded jacketed up that point. They required a lot more attention in seating than jacketed (I got a bunch smooshed), which means a lower production rate.
They also don't recommend loading them over 1200fps, which means I can't use them for 10mm, since most 10mm loads are real close to 1200fps.
And all-in-all, the savings isn't all that great; Midway sells Rainer plated for about $70/1000 for 10mm 180gr and there are at least two brands in the mid-$80s for jacketed. For the money, I'd sooner load faster and not have to worry about jacket seperation.
