MANY max performance loads for jacketed projectiles in handgun cartridges exceed 1200 FPS.

Why does the plated have less friction? Is it the thickness, the process or both?
Sorry, I wasn't very clear with the statement about max data not going over 1200 FPS. I had just looked in my Hornady, Seer and Lyman manuals and was referring to .45 and 9mm load data in those manuals. Most of that data for FMJ stays under 1200 FPS.
