I loaded a couple thousand 180 plated HPs in 40 and 10mm but they just never were that great and were all over the place but I noticed you need to flare the opening a good bit to get the billets to seat properly without tearing the plating off. I did have much better luck with the plated 9mm though
i never have had the chance to load my own, but (factory ammo) 180 grn jhp rounds tend to be the favorite of my Beretta.

yeah? i dont know the real difference i suppose. is plated more like what you would find on 22lr rounds? that slight layer of copper that looks like it was electroplated on there?

E.$, Here's a project that might interest you. Spent 22lr cased used to make jackets for 223 and 243 bullets. Crunch numbers to see if it's any money in it.
