I dunno if legends change one's opinion on plated. FWIW, IME...I've found FMJ (and lead) more accurate. And with the price of Zeros, Montana Gold, bulk Rem/Win FMJ, etc. etc., plated for $8 less for a 1000 seems a bad deal. I find more load data for FMJ/JHP and hard cast lead loads too.
I've always considered plated more expensive than cheap lead bullets, and less accurate than FMJ. ...but I contine to make impulse purchases
