I am concerned about bore wear in pistols that I shoot frequently. I was wondering whether plated bullets, rather than jacketed bullets, might cause less bore wear. I ordinarily use the 9mm Winchester 115 gr. hollow base bullets but the Rainier Ballistics 115 gr. plated bullets seem to work just as well. Advice?
