Default Plated vs Lead

I've compared Berry's plated 185 gr HBRN bullets, Hornady 185 gr SWC, Sierra 185 gr JHP to LSWC and found the LSCW the most accurate at 25 & 50 yds; followed by Berry's plated HBRN, followed by the Sierra JHP. Least accurate were the Hornady SWC bullets. All were with Lyman or Sierra recommended starting loads with W231 and BE. BE was most accurate. However, I now use 200 gr LSWC over 3.7 gr N310 for bullseye shooting. All were with used in a full size 1911.
