I don't believe it's possible to have a fully encapsulated base without plating; there's no real way to draw a jacket over the base in an economical fashion, AFAIK.

I will note that plating can come in differing quality; shitty plating as found in the Blazer Brass bullets or Berry's Bullets work for economical loads, but there are also much more substantial plating like Speer TMJ or Gold Dot. Technically, the shitty plated bullets are jacketed, they're just very poor jackets that are nowhere near comparable to the quality and durability of a bullet jacketed via the traditional cup and draw method, while high quality plated bullets like Speer TMJ are much closer to cup and draw in terms of durability.
