Reloading area better than before

Counters came from a library microfilm lab ( back in the 80's ) they were going to toss. Made by a union shop ( stamps on everything ) of maple.

factory sales
I ordered replacement de-capping pins , 2 that cost under $2 each and was charged almost $20 for something that would fit in a first class envelope.
No notice of shipping charges on any of the web pages.
It took almost 6 weeks for the order to arrive.

I am having a hard time finding good load data for plated bullets.
Half the advise is treat them as lead.
The other half is treat them as start or mild jacketed bullets.
The hard part is getting a good OAL number for Hollow Point Plated, either Rainier or Berrrys.
I use Titegroup as my...
