    Reloading Plated Bullets Data

    What data should plated bullets be loaded to I've been loading them to lead data, I would like to go to some higher velocities and load to FMJ data.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated

      On the Berry's site they recommend using start to mid-range FMJ data.

      FWIW, I have found Berry's to be some of the softest plated available.
      When asked what qualities he most valued in his generals, Napoleon said, "give me lucky ones."

          I have loaded a few thousand of berrys to lead data no problems. I've loaded a few to FMJ starting loads but wanted to check around and see if anyone has any good data...

              I've loaded Berry's using lead data and fmj data. I keep the charge on the low side when using fmj data.

                  I've been using rainier leadsafe and barrys. Low-mid range for 9mm and low in faster calibers. I've seen groups open up significantly once they go above 1100 fps in any caliber I reload

                      Anyone care to share their plated 9mm and .45 recipes? Thanks!

                      Remember to dial 1 before 911.

                      Forget about stopping power. If you can't hit it, you can't stop it.

                          Hornady recommends using lead data for plated bullets such as Berry's.

                          I load 115 grain for my 9mm needs. I am on travel and can't remember the load. However, Universal Clays is my powder of choice for pistol.
