Copper plated bullets?

I have come across a box of bullets manufactured by West Coast Bullets Inc of Carson City, Nevada. The company is no longer in business. The box is labeled "Copper Bullets" in the corner.
Am I correct that these are plated bullets?
New to reloading so all info is appreciated.
Also need opinions about using these in an M1A or a Ruger Gunsite Scout.
They are .308 150gr FP

I'd call them up and ask how fast the rifle bullets should be loaded.

From Xtreme's website:
Load Info:
- Our Copper Plated Bullets can be run at mid-range jacketed velocities or higher end lead velocities. We do not recommend velocities over 1500 FPS (Feet Per Second) and only a light taper crimp.
Any velocities over 1200 FPS we recommend either our Heavy Plate Concave Base or Hollow Point products for superior accuracy. We do not recommend velocities over 1500 FPS (Feet Per Second) and only a light taper crimp.
- All of our Hard Cast Lead Bullets are approximately 18 on Brinell, our Cowboy lead bullets are approximately 15 on Brinell.
Best.
