True plated shot is hard to come by. The only source I know of is some that is marketed through a reloading retailer in the USA, but is actually made in Italy. It provides a slightly harder surface that helps patterning.
I have a 3/4 oz. .410 load that involves plated shot. It kills doves like the hammer of Thor, much more so than the WW 3/4 oz. factory loading, which does not use plated shot.
