Hi guys,
I just picked up a box of Berry's plated 200gr SWC in 45 ACP.
I load a lot of plated bullets in RN and have had good success. My local caster has decided to go into the bug exterminator business (???) instead of cast and sell bullets.
I have been using a 200 gr H&G profile LSWC for years, but now they aren't available locally for a decent price. I have decided to give the plated SWC's a try.
The profile is pretty close, but the angle from the base to the meplat is a little different and the overall height of the plated is slightly longer.
I have in the past always used 1.240 OAL and had excellent results with the lead.
I haven't loaded any of the plated SWC's up yet, and was hoping to get some input regarding experiences with the Berry's, any OAL recommendations (if any) and a starting point for load data.
I have bee using 8.3 gr AA#5 or 5.0gr Titegroup with good results.
What do you guys use ? Any problems with the Berrys SWC ? Load/OAL recommendations ?
Thanks in advance for the help...
