Hard for us to help, when you don't state what cartridge you are loading

Since you're new to reloading I will suggest that you buy a reloading manual. It is the most important piece of kit in your reloading setup.

Plated bullets are loaded using cast bullet data.
XTP stands for Extreme Terminal Performance.

Hornady XTP is a jacketed pistol bullet made by Hornady. the data you are looking at is for that bullet.

You could use that data for your copper wash bullets as long as you start at the suggested minimum powder charge and work up.

Good idea to get a reloading manual too. The Lyman manual is a good one if you're just getting started in reloading.

sorry, I totally forget to include this info.

F ck that the internet has all the info you need! Just start with the lowest loads for the same weight jacketed bullet and work up. I use aim 124 grains with almost full power loads.
