[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2771558, member: 807"] The only problem I have had with plated bullets is the wrinkling of the plating when neck tension is too tight. I had one blow out the magazine in a Taurus PT945 and all I could find was the possibility that the plating caused the gun to fire slightly out of battery. Didn't hurt the gun, but destroyed the mag and my pinkie finger on the off hand was swollen and had nerve issues for several months. I tore down all the remaining bullets and they were all spot on with charge weight. I chalked it up to wrinkling of the plating. Now I need to look more into this cold bonding situation. A friend blew the top of the chamber out of a Taurus PT-96 (40 cal) with plated bullets and we couldn't find any overcharges in any of the remaining rounds. I have reloads that are 12 to 15 years old, both rifle and pistol with standard jacketed bullets and have never had an issue with any of them. [/QUOTE]
