Does anyone have loading data for LOS copper plated pistol bullets?
I have plenty of experience home loading lead cast and FMJ pistol rounds but these copper plated bullets are new to me.
What powder weight should I select given that I can't find any info on these LOS bullets? I'm thinking of using something between the lead cast and FMJ recipes.
Cheers,
HH

I've run with lead load data too and then adjusted to suit. From memory, with .45 ACP around another .5gn was required to get the same velocity as lead.bradaz11 wrote:I've just used lead data as instructed
