Plated bullets can actually have the copper plating stripped off of the bullet if shot at magnum velocities. This doesn’t occur often in pistol bullets because they are shot at lower speeds. Jacketed bullets are mostly copper with a lead core, and are harder. Plated bullets are cheaper, and they work well for pistols. For long range rifles, a jacketed bullet is the best choice.

What is the difference between jacketed and plated in terms of performance or is the process a money-saving technique?

Brian, great post. I always wondered how copper plating was done (I should never have given up on Chemistry at high school!).

Keep up the great work.

Check spelling on quiet vs. quite. I suspect a typo as I’m sure you know the difference.

A short section at the beginning on how “bullets” were made in the old days would put the modern process in perspective. The shot tower, bullet molds and lead mining are process examples in the former industry.
