Plated .357 Bullets (Load Data needed)

[JoKa]

Hey all,

I picked up some plated bullets cause they are safe to use on plates at my range. All of the load data that I can find though is either for lead or jacketed rounds.

Can y'all spit out some safe power charges?

Here is what I am using

Ruger GP100 6" .357

Powders Blue Dot and Bullseye

Bullet = Copper Plated 38cal/357Mag (0.357") 158Gr. Flat Nose - Beveled Base.

Bullet not to exceed 1500FPS


I do not have a min speed for the plates as they do not get knocked over so weaker the better with out the round getting stuck

Just use lead data.

I also tend to use .38 spl loads often for plinking.
