Default fmj vs plated data question

Why is the recommendation for plated bullets, "use mid range jacketed data" instead of following FMJ exactly. I understand that plated shouldn't be driven to FMJ velocities but with very few exceptions FMJ max data doesn't get over 1200 FPS anyway.

Do plated achieve higher velocities that FMJ if you used exactly the same components, powder and charge?

What makes a plated bullets react different than FMJ all other variables the same?
