Splitting hairs? Hardly.

They are made by completely different mechanisms. Plated bullets are made by pressing solid lead into a mold under hydraulic pressure, then electroplated with copper.

Cast bullets are made by melting lead the the liquid lead is then poured into a mold. Cast bullets can be made from a harder alloy for this reason.

They also produce very different velocities with the same load: https://books.google.com/books?id=da...cketed&f=false
