.40: West Coast Plated 155 RNFP Safe at High Velocities??
I am looking to produce some practice rounds that feel like my Pro-Loads. Not quite up to the Pro-Load velocity, Speer shows Universal 7.0gr., CCI Primer, TMJ 155gr. & COL 1.120. Except for using a COL of 1.125 and RNFP plated, I loaded this in once shot cases from my P7M10 and finished off with the Lee Factory Crimp Die. The velocity on this is supposedly around 1159 for the TMJ. I've never used a max load for this caliber, nor in any caliber with a plated bullet. Any problems here????

Why not ask the good folks who made the bullets ?

Good idea. I guess that my previous question some time ago was long time in receiving an answer. This board is rather fast. I will send them an email.

I've pushed their 155 grain RNFP bullet to 1300 fps in my Glock 20 (10 mm) and have had no problems there.
I've also had excellent results with their 0.355" 124 grain FP bullets in 357 Sig cartridges (1350-1400 fps). |

I shoot their 180gr Copper Plated Flat Point at 1000-1100fps. G20 with KKM barrel, stock G29 and S&W 1076. Very accurate and clean. So far no signs of buildup in G29/polygonal rifling.
