ive loaded 20k+ .40s&w and around 5k .44mag rainier bullets.

i loaded them at jacketed velocities, the .44 quite hot.

i never had any plating seperation, or copper fouling from it.

That's correct, Field. Stay with lead bullet data. It's generally 10% below jacketed charge levels. Mileage may vary depending on the powder you're using.

One other thing: BE SURE to bell your cases a bit more than you would for jacketed bullets. You'll be glad you did....
