Any one use plated bullets in 223 Rem or 5.56x45 ? Load data to share?

Have some I am going to try. Subsonic load is also part of the quest to use these. Berrys and PMP make these.

Thanks

The website for plated bullets normally give loading data, and the data varies depending on the thickness of the plating.

The data contains the correct grain weight of bullet.
Berry's max recommended velocity is not exceeded. (This info is displayed on bullet boxes and product webpages.)

• Standard Plate Bullets Max Velocity: 1,250 fps.
• Thick-Plate Bullets (TP) Max Velocity: 1,500 fps.

Here are websites with load data information:
