Here's the rub: I use a Lee turret press. If I do not use a 4 die set when reloading plated bullets, I have trouble unloading the fired cases. The use of the fourth die, the optional crimping die, eliminated the problem of hard to eject empties. Plated bullets are very soft, and the crimping die sizes them just right.

Be careful when sizing plated bullets. The plating is thin, and easily damaged.

One more thing about Berry Bullets: I've noticed a huge variation in FPS with plated bullets, up to 100 fps difference between rounds. I don't see this much variation with jacketed or lead bullets I reload.

Sorry for the long post, but like I said, there does not seem to be a lot of info out there from those who actually used plated bullets.
