In this part of the video, the focus is on reloading with plated bullets, highlighting the cost-saving benefits, versatility, and characteristics of loaded ammunition. The video delves into load data for plated bullets, discussing the differences between hardcast lead and jacketed data. Barry’s Manufacturing, a USA-based third-generation family business, specializes in plated bullets, offering quality products including the QD500 vibratory tumbler. Plated bullets encapsulate lead, making them suitable for indoor shooting due to reduced lead exposure. They provide improved characteristics and affordability compared to hard cast lead or jacketed bullets. Considerations when loading ammunition with plated bullets include staying under the velocity threshold and understanding the specific characteristics of these bullets.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of not exceeding the maximum velocity for loaded bullets. If the bullet stretches due to high velocity, the plating may separate, leading to accuracy issues and other problems. Over crimping can also cause separation of the plating around the bullet, resulting in performance issues. Different plated bullets have varying velocity ceilings, with Berries offering options suitable for pistol bullets up to Magnum cartridges and rifle bullets. It’s advised to stay under the specified velocity ceiling to ensure proper performance when using plated bullets, as they can generally be used with jacketed load data.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses testing different hollow point loads with 230-grain bullets in two magazines. They load 10 rounds each with Hornady XTP and Berry’s hybrid hollow point bullets. The average velocity of the XTP load was 742.1 feet per second, while for Berry’s hybrid hollow point it was 750.5 feet per second, showing a slight difference. The importance of maintaining consistent bullet seating depth and volume under the bullet base is emphasized for equivalent pressures. The speaker also cautions on ensuring safe velocities when using plated bullets in different firearms, like in a lever gun or revolver, to prevent key holing or stability issues in the bullets.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the impact of excessive velocity on plated bullets, using a bullet hole in a paper target as an example. They recommend testing and validating load data when using plated bullets. The speaker also highlights the use of Berry’s plated bullets for various applications, such as subsonic shooting and suppressed shooting. They mention upcoming features on lever gun ammunition and invite viewers to share their experiences with plated bullets and load data.
