When plated bullets first began getting popular I tried some. From what the manufacturers said, one recommended a "formula" to compare to jacketed bullets and one said use lead bullet data. I used lead bullet data and methods. I started with semi-auto calibers and had no problem determining seating depth, but read new reloaders questions (posted daily in the forums I frequented) about problems with plated bullets. OAL, crimping, load data questions were the norm.
I was not impressed with the bullets I tried were of so-so quality (consistent bullet seating was a major problem and a no crimp groove/cannelure for revolver cartridge lead to bullets "jumping crimp" unless I roll crimped and then I got plating peeling/fouling). My cast bullets are of better quality and consistency, don't lead barrels too much and are accurate. When I want velocity, I go with jacketed bullets. So, I no longer use plated bullets. (I have a box of 235 9mm Plated HP bullets in the back of my bullet cabinet that I could not get less than .006"+ variation in seating depth due to variations in bullet ogive and length (same shape/weight cast bullet often varied by .001"-.002" with my Hornady and Lee dies on my Co-Ax.). A lot of guys like them but I won't waste my time with them...).
If I were to make a suggestion, I would mention Acme bullets and inexpensive, but very good quality RMR bullets...
