Re: Rainier plated bullets

I've had no problems with the 230 gr in .45 (tried a couple thousand, but generally cast my own bullets).

Got a good friend who swears by Berry's bullets, and has shot over 20,000 of them in the last two years in about 4 different calibers.

Both Berry's and Ranier say to use lead bullet load data. One caution I would offer is these plated bullets still have more resistance going down the barrel than a lead bullet. Don't load minimum or low range powder charges using lead data or you can risk sticking a bullet in the barrel (which is not a good thing!). Load to the high end of the load data range.
