Good OP (some of the follow up threads stink though). I have only use mebbe 1,000-1,100 plated bullets and have found they aren't enough better than my cast bullets to purchase any more. My cast lead bullets fit my guns so I experience very little, if any leading. I am not sloppy with my casting, sizing, lubing so plated has no advantage there. I don't shoot in an indoor range so there's no "range rules" against smoke, and I clean my guns every time I use them. My cast bullets are very accurate in my guns, so plated bullets are of no advantage to my reloading/shooting. If someone gave me a bunch, of course I'd use them but paying for them and waiting for delivery just don't do it for me...

The only problem I've seen with plated bullets though is the lack of easily found information for plated bullets. I see many, many questions posted by new reloaders about powder charges and crimping...
