9mm ammunition $0.28 cents per round includes freight.

This ammo is thick plated, does it wear out barrels faster than the other type of ammo... does anyone know because I was at the range before and the ammo I was using was sparking when it hit the backstop which apparantly means it's rough on barrels?

This ammunition will not spark when you shoot it. The only ammo - I am aware of - that sparks is steel cored ammo. The plating on these bullets will not cause excessive barrel wear.

I would think copper is copper. Regardless of how think it is, its thesame surface area contacting the inside of the barrel...

This is how I understand it as well. If someone has anything to add to this I would welcome the information.

Copper is much softer than steel, it won't hurt your barrel. With the price of copper, I doubt it's very thick (Or much thicker than any other bullets) :)

I would order some but my wife would kill me if I do :(
