what's the difference between using a plated bullet with same jacketed diameter vs plated that is .001 larger. i've been using ranier plated for 147 grain 9 mm at .355 and 230 rn 45 with .451. would i have to treat berry's bullets that are .001 larger any different? my 230 grain has 827 fps with 5 grains bullseye and the 147 runs around 950fps with 3.8-3.9 unique so less than 1200 for both. would like to use whichever is available and cheaper. i have no plans on slugging my barrel.
 
No difference, other then you might want to back off your taper crimp just a frog hair to make up for the .001".
