As long as you dont break throug the plating youre fine,
I've never seen a problem breaking the plating, although I have to admit that I've never pulled the bullet to see if I'm breaking through or not. I'd think that the small line where the mouth of the cartridge crimps into the bullet wouldn't make that much different in the long run.

I'm an old cast bullet shooter and very fond of lead in my revolvers, anyway. But, I've never seen the utility of wondering whether I was going to break the plating on a plated bullet. It's a lead bullet with a skim of plating on it. If my crimp breaks the plating, I can't imagine that the plating would hold up through a trip down the rifling.
