The lube used will contribute to smoke the higher percentage of waxes in the lube the greater the smoke. Remember it's called "Smoke LESS" not smoke free powder

Re: Plated as a compromise?
Plated and coated bullets are a very good alternative to jacketed or lead. As long as you stay within the velocity guidelines the manufacturer recommends you will do great. I shoot Glocks in 9mm so I don't use traditional lead bullets in them. The plated bullets are great Berry's, Rainier, and X-Treme, as are the coated bullets, Bayou and, Precision. The price of any of these bullets is less than traditional fMj bullets and often less than hard cast bullets. The only way to lower the price per bullet is to cast your own. I have used all of the bullets listed except X-Treme and I can recommend them to any one wanting a good bullet.
