I'm using Aim 124gr RN plated pullets and I can't go over 1.10" or I'm getting problems cambering the round.

Are there any PLATED bullets that will not hit the rifling when loaded a bit longer? Any grain or manufacturer.

thanks

Why do you want to load them long? Every bullet design has a maximum OAL you can load them for in any given chamber.

I just went through all this with reloading for my Shadow. The bullets I used were bulk that were repackaged in boxes under the supplier's name so I don't know which they are. But in playing with the lengths I was only able to get to 1.120 before they jammed. And even a few at 1.120 were just pinching.

But that's only .020 difference. Are you after more than that?

After reading about reloads for the Shadow on the CZ forums I elected to go with the acknowledged favourite size of 1.10 and just cut back the charge a little more.
 
Just work up from the starting powder charge using the OAL that works with your gun. Deeper seating given the same powder charge can cause excessive pressure, but the minimum load should give a low enough pressure starting point to allow you to determine what is maximum for your gun. I'm guessing that the data you are using wasn't developed with the exact same bullet.

Load data should be thought of as more of a guideline than an exact recipe.

If you are at the lower end of the powder loadings it won't make any significant difference. If you were loading to the max or at +P+ levels it might but for PF around 130, no. In short I would not be to concerned about shortening your IOAL a few thousandths to allow for chambering.

For reloading you really should use a Chrono as you likely do.

Plated bullet loadings generally follow lead bullet loadings due to the relative softness of the plating.
