Thinking of trying my luck with cheaper plated bullets and looking at the Campro and Berry's 123 spire point.
They are both in the similar price point to each other and both considerably cheaper compared to FMJ with the Campro's being a bit cheaper.

Assumption is that they'll need to be downloaded so they do not lead the barrel, but for paper and steel punching this is ok.
Looking to retain some semblance of accuracy, so question is...are these generally decent for plinking out to 200-300m, or a waste of time?
Take the plunge or stick to a known (although more expensive) quality with Hornady FMJs?

I'll be running them through a CZ600 and CZ527 and eventually a Maverick.
 
I started working up loads with Berrys about 6 months ago but wasn't very impressed with first results.
Every other bullet I've tried in my 527 shoots like a hot damn. Hornady sst, sp, barnes tsx and privi round nose. Was using h4198 if I remember right.
I'm hoping there's still room for improvement and will post when I get back at them.
 
I think Campro bullets are a tad more copper plating, and can be run at full velocity? Haven't used them in the 7.62x39 yet, but hornady sst's with 30gr of CFE black is deadly! I've used the 147gr Campro bullets in the 308win with very good results.
Good luck in your quest!
