I used low lead data with an M14 and a Rainier plated WC. The bullet made it about 5 inches and stuck an inch from the end!
Also, it takes more pressure to seal a plated bullet. Accuracy was poor, even with bullets that made it all the way the target! Thats why I have not had good luck with Trail Boss and plated bullets, Berry's flat nose in this case. Poor accuracy, even with a full jigger of TB.
