Rainier Plated Bullets and .32's

[petep]

I think I have seen where some of you use Rainier plated bullets in your .32's and they seem to work well for you.I have also seen some reports concerning other calibers that the plated bullets were just not as accurate as either cast or jacketed.First,do these bullets work well for you that use them as far as accuracy goes and second what type of crimp do you use?Is there anything not to do while loading these bullets correctly?

Pete, they worked great for me in my .32's! I had really good accuracy from them. I just roll crimped them like I normally would as I was loading them long for my sixguns.

Thank you very much! I will load some today and see how they work out.

I use them as well with great success. Bought an inexpensive Lee 32 Long taper crimp die. Use it for 32 Magnum and 327 Federal.

I too load plated 32's for some of my uses. No issues here.

Thanks for all the help! I also taper crimp all my loads with cast bullets especially coated ones.I seem to get more loads per case and less damage to the coating.

Exactly what I have found with plated. Plus no loss of jacket that can occurs if crimp cuts thru plating.
