Plated vs. Jacketed Bullets?

[dovehunter]

What is the difference, functionally that is, between plated bullets like the Raniers and Berrys vs. jacketed bullets? Both Ranier and Berry say to use lead bullet loading data when loading them. Also, if you are using plated bullets and don't have an exact lead bullet load for the bullet weight you want to use, can you use jacketed bullet load data for that bullet weight and maybe drop back some on charge weights? I am thinking about trying some of the plated bullets and was wondering if there were any particular precautions to take or unique loading practices I need to follow. I have loaded beaucoup jacketed and regular lead pistol bullets over the years but no plated bullets up to this point. I'd welcome any recommendations you can offer regarding the use of plated pistol bullets. Thanks!
