Folks,

I'm an experienced reloader, but I am new to the concept of "plated" bullets. I'm wondering what load data to use with these bullets?

Are thuey basically hard cast lead with a copper "wash" coating that will perform essentially like cast bullets in the bore, or is the plating thicker, such that the bullets perform more like jacketed in the bore?

I'm also curious about leading. Again, if the "plating" is superficial, do these bullets potentially lead the bore similarly to cast bullets (depending on hardness and velocity along with other factors), or are they completley impervious to leading the bore, like jacketed bullets are?

Thanks,
Lou
