Taurus now makes a Barnes bullet in .45 ACP for $15 for 20 rounds....about half the price of Cor-Bon. Not +P, but geez, it's a .45 and expands to almost and inch. I think not having the +P will suffice...
Don't know about other calibers, though.

I wouldn't worry about touching lead. I had that concern a while back when I was melting lead with a blow torch for a pinewood derby car and a drop slattered on my skin. I was pretty worried about the lead exposure through the burn, since the skin is your protection. Fortunately, my buddy is a doctor and said not to worry about it. He said the bigger danger is breathing the fumes from it, and made it sound that trans-dermal poisoning is very unlikely and would take quite a bit of exposure.
With all of that said, I just read a good review on an all-copper bullet from Magtech....had great penetration and expansion. Don't know what the price is, but with the way people steal copper wiring from construction sites these days, you never know.
If I can find the article again, I will post a follow up with details.
