Not really. They recommend mid range FMJ data but push to shove it's pretty much lead data. When I used them I loaded them as FMJ data as long as they did not exceed 1200 fps.

Berry's Frequently Asked Questions *

"Plated bullets occupy a position between cast bullets and jacketed bullets. They are soft lead, but have a hard outer shell on them. When loading plated bullets we have found best results using low- to mid-range jacketed data in the load manual. You must use data for a bullet that has the same weight and profile as the one you are loading. Do not exceed mid-range loads. Do not use magnum loads. "
