[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1336171, member: 1132"] Plated bullets are not meant to be driven at magnum velocities. The electroplating is much thinner than jacketed and the cores are usually softer than hard cast lead. That's why load data for them is usually closer to lead than jacketed. A lot of what you can drive them to is dependent on the type and condition of your bore. If you have a relatively smooth bore with sharp lands and you keep it clean, you'll be able to drive them faster with better results. A rough, heavily fouled or polygonal bore, not so much. All guns will have bullet preferences and some will shoot a particular bullet better than others. While anecdotal evidence from numerous shooters will usually point to trends, your gun may differ on what theirs shoots well. [/QUOTE]
