Plated bullets in revolver (Rainiers in .32 H&R Mag)?

[AtomicOrange]

Any comments / experiences using the Rainiers or other plated bullets in loads for revolvers. Pics I've seen show no cannelure / crimp grove. I've had a problem in the past with bullets jumping enough to almost lock my cylinder and that was when lightly crimping on a hardcast bullet with a crimp groove. My loads are on the high side of published data, but the recoil seems light with this caliber. I would like to find a tmj or plated bullet and am looking at the Rainiers. Thought I would check in before purchasing. Thanks.

I use lots of them. Xtreme’s bullets have cannelures.

What speeds are you looking to push these at?

I use Xtremes in .45 colt and they do have a cannelure, but I have not seen that they sell plated bullets in .32, at least not on their Web site.

What speeds are you looking to push these at?

Expected velocities are between 1,000 and 1,200 fps. I am not really worried about them surviving the speeds, but rather being able to apply enough crimp/tension for them to stay in place under recoil without damaging the plating.

Roll crimp should bite even without cannelure. I’ve loaded 38/357 without cannelure and not had any trouble if the crimp is good enough
