Thanks for the quick replies...I am looking for a Black Friday deal, so time is of the essence. I only have experience with Acme, Xtreme, Berry's, and American Reloading. The only trouble I have had with Acme was due to user error. Failure to return to battery in a stock Glock 19. I was unaware of the plunk test and was running Acme at the same length as other plated RN projectiles, 1.130", and it was too long for the more blunt Acme profile. 1.100" was the solution.
I am not seeing a universal preference toward one type, so it may come down to cost for me. But I will read all I can before making the purchase.
I do notice a little more smoke from coated, but no smell and not enough smoke to bother me. An RO did ask me if the coated were live rounds at first glance because simunitions are also red, which I though was a fair question.
