I loaded up 18 at 3.6 and shot them. No problems. I loaded another 200 more that I haven’t shot yet. Don’t want to break them down. Should I bump the weight up for the Xtreme plated bullet? I haven’t see. A recipe for a 158 grain plated bullet using HP38.

All I am gonna say. Long ago I used some Berry Plated bullets. They were cheap and worked OK, they their prices went up to pretty much FMJ prices and to me their plating and consistency declined. I have not use their bullets for years,
I use coated lead bullets or FMJ bullets. I do have some plated bullets from RMR and they are pretty much FMJ.
For plated bullets I use regular FMJ data, I do not load at max loads anyway.
