My thought is to skip the plated bullet and go with a coated lead bullet that has a real crimping groove for a rimmed cartridge. You may or may not get away without bullet pull with a plated bullet but it's a real possibility that you'd have to be aware of. Plated offers no advantage over coated that I can see, but has the potential for a downside.

I have Berry 220FP's I shoot in my '57 Ruger SA and Xtreme 240RN's with a cannelure so shallow that it feels like it's photo-etched. Both offer acceptable accuracy but can't compare to coated or jacketed. They cost me 12-13 cents apiece and I've bought genuine Zero 240JSP's for that. No more plated bullets in revolvers for me.
