I've reloaded for years, but the .45 is new to reload, not shoot. Last time I shot it was for my Uncle Sammy, and he provided all the hardball I needed. I've reloaded pistol lead and rifle jacked and lead.

I see a lot of plated, or maybe more properly "washed" pistol bullets for lead. Are they loaded with the same data as regular lead, or are there differences to consider? Pros and cons?

Thanks in advance.
