Anyone load 38 Super with Berry's Bullets?

I picked up some of Berry's 38 Super 130gr RN plated rounds for use in my Tanfoglio Gold Custom. Anyone use these bullets for reloading? I've got some HS6 on hand that I'm hoping to use.

I have a 158 Berry's/Unique load for a reduced 357 mag. This combo shoots extremely well in my GP100. A better group than the Cam Pros so far. This is at 15 yards/meters @ 1132fps. Don't see why they would not do well. How fast are you thinking of pushing them? As I think they don't like to be pushed too high though.

I'm going to keep them pretty tame for a 38 Super load. I've heard that the bullets can strip with the plated stuff if they're too hot. I have to figure out how thick the plating is on these too.

Use lead load data this will give you nice target loads. You should be able to find several loads using HS6.

Here is what Berry's says:

We guarantee our Standard Bullets to handle velocities up to 1,250 fps, and up to 1,500 fps for the bullets designated as TP (thick plated).

Going by Hodgdon's data for HS6 they would handle up to maximum listed load for that weight of bullet. I shoot Berry's bullets in many calibers and haven't had any problems with them.
