I treat plated like lead, go bigger if it fits.

As long as the boolit is as big as the groove dimension, round and will obturate WHEN IT LEAVES THE CASE it will work. A thousandths or 2 over size compensates for defects.
Did you size with pure? Lot of guys state they are sizing with boolits - tin and antimony causes springback. When measuring to four digits this causes error, reading too large a size.
