Thanks OlyDemon, great links. I am getting some Berry's plated bullets this week in 9mm and .40. I've have been looking for resources for loading for plated. I guess I will be looking at using the data for lead cast and keep the FPS under 1100. Any tips would be appreciated.

Im no expert and the more I learn, the more I learn I know very little. I did hear from one of the masters on another site that the Lee book has the best data for loading Plated. Most all of the other sources have no plated data other than the Accurate manual I linked above. I plan to get the Lee book as soon as I can find one.

well first welcome to the site I would check out Xtreme Projectile's dougie I believe is doing another group buy. Here
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2928 prices and what not he is a good guy he also has primers for sale.
I have both 9mm in 115 and 124 gr and 40 in 180 and also 165gr both bulk buys from him. good Product for the money.

Olydemon,
I was thinking of getting the Lee Loader manual myself, but Graf & Sons was out of them when I Ordered this week. I was hoping the latest edition has that plated information, I am just re-taking up handloading after a 30 year break. I used to be an RCBS Guy, but the price of the Lee 4 Die turret press makes an appealing argument in their favor. I couldn't pass it up.
Just in joy, Thanks for that info, I will check it out.

Got that site and montana gold bookmarked for later when I have post holiday cash. Think precision was backordered on what I really needed...
