I am fairly new to reloading and I have run across something that I am not sure about, so I thought I would ask you all.
I am starting to reload .45acp. I picked up some copper plated projectiles at a gun show last week. They are 230 grain. I have the Lee's 2nd edition reloading book. The book only has load data for 230 grain jacketed bullets.
My question is can I follow the suggested load data for the jacketed bullets if I am actually using plated bullets? Or, do I need to get a different book or search online for actual load data for the plated bullets?
I appreciate any input. Thanks
