Berrys bullets loading questions

Good Day and an early Happy New Year

Before purchasing Berrys bullets for my 45-70, I am researching anything that would be good to know, or must know, about reloading plated bullets. Therefore if any of you fine people can pass along some words of wisdom that would be most appreciated.
Thanks for the info.

I have shot hundreds of Berry's plated bullets through my Marlin 45-70 with no problems at all. Their rifle bullets have thicker plating than their pistol bullets, from their web site:

Our 30-30 and 45-70 bullets can handle velocities up to 1,700 fps.

I load mine to a midrange load for 350 grain jacketed bullets from the Hornady 1895 Marlin 45-70 section in my manual which keeps them below 1700 FPS.
