I found using plated bullets in short barrel pistols (less than 3.5in) that use polygonal riffling instead of the usual lands/grooves can be a problem.
I have Kahr’s and HK’s in 9mm and 40 s&w that have accuracy trouble when shooting plated stuff – really horrible groups.
I tried lots of different loads and setup and was never happy.
I ended up giving the 9mm and 40s&w plated stuff to a friend.
Those same pistols never have a problem with jacketed.

Hmmmmm. No problem here with my "hexagonal rifled" Glock 27 - shoots as accurate as my G22 with plated bullets (Rainier, Berrys, PowerBond in 165/180 gr).
