You'll find the plated bullet to be somewhat more slippery (OK, it doesn't take as much force to engrave the rifling and drive the bullet down the barrel) than jacketed and requires less powder to reach the same velocities. Exactly how much less depends upon what powder you're using.

Starting with middle of the load range lead bullet data is a good starting place.
