My Lee discs and batch of BE will weigh different than yours or anyone else's.


That data is a for a lead bullet, your plated has more friction, so yes bump it up a bit but you have to weigh it!
Yes I do. I have a frankford arsenal (?) Digital scale and a mechanical scale.
This morning I was using the digital one. Put the plate and hit the tare button, then did the drops right on it.
I've used plated loadings on lead figures. On some , they're good.
But then I was seeing those Elmer Keith loads. And he says for light plinking on bullseye (for lead) he calls for 5g on a magnum or special case.
I've given up special cases on a magnum cylinder. Too many problems and I've noticed a bump in accuracy as well. But, I know that's subjective.
