Usually it's considered poor form to ask for load data.
Treat plated bullets as if you are shooting lead, unless there is plated data out there. Usually you can look up on the bullet manufacturer's website or the powder manufacturer's website to get load data.

Caution on the plated stuff awhen exceeding the abilities. You can shoot the lead out and see a paper hole but have left some copper in the barrel waiting on the next round. Some Berrys bullets don't want more than 1250fps as an example.

Extreme says:Our Copper Plated Bullets can be run at mid-range jacketed velocities or higher end lead velocities. We do not recommend velocities over 1500 FPS (Feet Per Second) and only a light taper crimp.

It would be rather difficult to load a .40 S&W above 1500 fps anyway without serious pressure issues.
I use jacketed data and stay below the max charge. |

This has also been my practice. I always watch the Beta Master Chrony speeds and for over pressure signs. |

Get yourself a Lee Reloading Manual. It has data for plated bullets and specifically what you're looking for.
