Some bullets are also labeled as ".44 Special" because of their low weight. By the time you boost, say, a 180- or even a 200-grain lead bullet to full Magnum pressures, there's a solid chance that you'll be bumping against lead's velocity limitations with a lot of powders.
And FYI, you'll probably gain two or three inches at 50 feet moving from plated to lead, along with a lot more smoke. Jacketed is just as accurate as lead.
