Default Re: Don't understand treating copper plated like lead bullets

to put it simple... They mean plated bullets behave more like lead bullets. They should be developed with lead load data because the pressures and velocities generated will be more applicable to your plated bullets. If you use jacketed bullet data your velocities will be much lower with the plated bullets... The plated bullet companies are just trying to prevent confusion.
