I'll set it up . I load .380 , 9mm , .38 spec , 357 mag on the Lee Turret press and am fairly new to reloading ( 3years ) and loving it .
Thing is my LGS stocks Frontier plated at a good price and they work well for me over HP38 but have to use CFE till HP 38 comes in . Anywho I need confirmation that this brand plated bullet can be used with lead data of same weight ( data books that don't show data for plated say to use lead data for comparable weight plated ) . So do I use data say for LSWC for plated RN , of course staying within recommended velocity for plated , and work up from there . The 2015 Hodgon annual manual says to do this " for plated bullets such as Berrys, use existing lead data for the same weight plated bullet " does this apply even with different configurations between lead and plated bullets . Not a problem with .380 as the data is there for plated but other calibers only show lead data mostly in LSWC in the weights I have of plated . All data I use comes from books not Internet ( with the exception of this trusted site ! ) and I would like to see it here from the horses mouth so to speak . Thanks in advance .
