I am looking for reload info on Berry's Bullets for the 230 gn plated round for 45 ACP. I am using AutoComp and TiteGroup for powder. Any information would be appreciated. OAL and powder weights would be nice to have.
Plated bullets occupy a position between cast bullets and jacketed bullets. They are soft lead, but have a hard outer shell on them. When loading plated bullets we have found best results using low- to mid-range jacketed data in the load manual. You must use data for a bullet that has the same weight and profile as the one you are loading. Do not exceed mid-range loads. Do not use magnum loads.
if you have some W-231, load em up at 1.260 to 1.265 OAL with 5.0 grs and go have fun.
