[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 1336074, member: 3615"] In theory velocity is a plated bullet's enemy. I can tell you that I had less than stellar results with 115gr bullets at minor pf going around 1100 fps(7-8 inches at 25yards). The same gun will do 3.5 inches at 25 with MG 124 JHP's. I don't even want to think about what a 115 or 124gr major load would do to a plated bullet. I've never loaded any 40 with plated bullets, but you only need 920 fps or so to make major with a 180gr bullet, so it may work alright, you'd have to experiment. If you're gonna go plated, Berry's is probably the best plated bullet out there, I'll never buy another Rainier again. [/QUOTE]
