    CSB 1M .45 acp data for lead v Berrys plated

    Bought a jug of CSB 1M from Hi Tech. I am looking for a 810-830 fps load for LY 452374 from wheel weights/ range scrap.

    The data HI Tech provided shows a load for Berrys plated 230 gr at 5.4 grains.

    Should I just use the published data or reduce it .2-.3gr to offset for the plated bullets? I know fmj velocity equivalent loads need more powder that lead, but I'm not sure what the relationship is for the plated bullets.

    Use the plated load. The boolits are essentially the same, the plating is so thin.
