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 standard, but also have AA #5 and Bullseye.
Looking for an OAL for 124gr Plated HP Berrys 9mm.
Titegroup 4.1gr is what I figure.
( I get suggestions for everyting from 1.000 to 1.55, but seating is a real pressure issue ).
Same question for 165gr Rainier HP in .40 S&W and Titegroup.
thanks
