Long time 9mm reloader here, have consistently used 124 gr Hornady FMJ-RN bullets and the HP/XTP hollow points. Would like to save a few $$ on my reloading costs, so am looking at plated bullets as an option. Questions: Is there any concern using the plated bullets in barrels with polygonal rifling?
Does one need to use different load data? What about crimp, use the same light taper crimp as with the FMJs? What COL is appropriate for plated? If you have experience using plated bullets, I would appreciate your thoughts.
Stay safe, shoot straight and have fun!
