[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3800018, member: 796"] Gold Dots are jacketed. In a sense, plated bullets have a thinner plated-on jacket similar to the gold dots but having a lower "speed limit" for the plating. See the Berry website. It is safe to use jacketed starting loads for plated bullets; using lead bullet light loads for plated bullets can stick a plated bullet in the bore. In my 9mm, I need 4 gr of 231 to reliably work the action, and that is plenty to avoid stuck bullets. [/QUOTE]
