loading plated rounds for carbine - pet loads?

[_n4z_]

I want to load up some moderate loads for my Marlin 1894c using Rainier plated 158 grainers, but my manuals are not very helpful. Been shooting hot 2400 loads which are fun, but not so great when it comes to brass life.

I have Bullseye, Unique, and 2400 on hand.

Also would be interested in any lead bullet combo's as I have ALOT of that on hand also.

Any help from the experts is greatly appreciated.

The Lee 2nd ed. manual lists 5.2 gr start to 5.8 gr max of Accurate # 2, and 8.8 gr start to 9.8 gr max of Accurate # 7 for the 'copper plated' 158 gr bullets.

I mention this because they list for those two powders AND for Unique and 2400, for the lead ones, and you can see the difference (or lack of) between the plated and lead load data for those two powders.

For Accurate # 2 they list the same 5.2 to 5.8 grains for the 'lead' bullets.
For Accurate # 7 they list 9.9 start to 11.0 max for the 'lead' bullets.
For H 2400 they list 13.9 gr start to 15.3 gr max for the lead ones, and
for Unique they list 6.2 gr start to 6.8 gr max for the lead ones.

Ranier says on their website (see below) to just use 'lead' data...

We, at Rainier Ballistics, recommend using lead bullet load data when loading our bullets. There is no need for adjustment when using lead bullet load data. Our bullets are jacketed using an electroplating process and are softer than traditionally jacketed bullets; hence the recommendation to use lead bullet load data. If you only have access to traditionally jacketed load data, we recommend reducing maximum charge by 10%. A roll or taper crimp may be used with our bullets; do not over crimp.
