Hornady and Sierra do not make plated bullets, so it stands to reason they would not have data for them.I cannot seem to find loading data on 45 cal 230 graim round nose hollow point bullets in my Sierra, or Hornady book, they are plated, am I missing something ?
Rainier recommends to use lead data and Berry's recommends medium jacketed data. I load both bullets with jacketed data just keep them below 1,200 FPS.I cannot seem to find loading data on 45 cal 230 graim round nose hollow point bullets in my Sierra, or Hornady book, they are plated, am I missing something ?
This is exactly what I do! I use pretty much all Berry's bullets or my home cast ones.Rainier recommends to use lead data and Berry's recommends medium jacketed data. I load both bullets with jacketed data just keep them below 1,200 FPS.
The bullets are manufactured by XTREME bullets.......I can not even find loading data on 45 cal 230 grain RNHP cast bullets.Hornady and Sierra do not make plated bullets, so it stands to reason they would not have data for them.
Most plated bullet manufacturers do not have any load data as they lack the capability to pressure test their products.
What brand of plated bullets do you have?
Some recommend lead data and others recommend mid range jacketed data.
Hey, thanks....maybe I'm being too persnickety, but like to get good opinions.It doesn't really matter if it is a hollow point or round nose ball, 230 grains is 230 grains is 230 grains, no matter how you look at it.
This is correct.It doesn't really matter if it is a hollow point or round nose ball, 230 grains is 230 grains is 230 grains, no matter how you look at it.
