Berry's .38 / .357 158Gr Flat-Point Copper-Plated Bullets x 500

Berry's .38 / .357 calibre 158gr copper-plated flat-point bullets deliver dependable performance and consistent accuracy when used through both long-barreled revolvers and rifles ideal for lever-action enthusiasts as well as competitive shooters. Each bullet begins with a swaged lead core and is fully electroplated with copper to eliminate lead exposure and allow for better accuracy at higher velocities. The manufacturing process produces bullets that have a consistent weight and stability for tight groups shot after shot.

The flat-nose profile on this bullet is engineered for reliable and safe feeding in revolvers and lever-action rifles as well as a high level of accuracy making them perfect to use in indoor ranges when reloading with smokeless powder.

Please note the maximum velocity of this bullet is 1250 fps whether used in a .357 Magnum or .38 Special. Exceeding this can cause bullet core separation and accuracy issues.

Load data for Berry's Superior Plated Bullets® can be found in most manuals or powder manufacturer's website. Load data for cast or jacketed bullets with the same weight and profile as the Berry's bullet being used will work provided the load data is compatible with the bullets stated maximum velocity.

These bullets are suitable for use with a taper or light roll crimp but be careful not to over crimp the brass after seating. Over-crimping the bullet causes bullet core separation, leading to increased copper fouling and accuracy issues.

How Berry's bullets are manufactured

1. Start with a solid lead core - Every bullet begins with a precision-swaged lead bullet core, formed under high pressure to ensure uniform density throughout its length.
2. The copper-plating process - Berry's advanced electroplating system deposits a consistent copper layer across the entire bullets surface, eliminating lead exposure while maintaining precise bullet diameter specifications.
3. Re-striking for perfection - After plating, each bullet undergoes re-striking to refine its final dimensions, including groove diameter compatibility and overall profile consistency.
4. Rigorous quality assurance - Every batch receives a thorough inspection to verify that throat diameter compatibility, weight consistency, and dimensional accuracy meet Berry's exacting standards before packaging.

Why Choose Berry's Bullets

Berry's plated bullets use an advanced electroplating process to bond a uniform copper jacket around a soft lead core, reducing lead fouling, creating a cleaner shooting experience, and offering an ideal balance of performance and value for recreational shooters. They provide comparable accuracy and high velocity to traditional jacketed bullets but at a better price, making them a smart choice for high-volume shooting. Unlike cast bullets, which are formed by pouring molten lead into moulds, Berry’s plated bullets eliminate lead exposure, reduce barrel fouling, increase consistency for improved accuracy, and support higher velocities than typical cast options. Whether you're fine-tuning load data for competition or simply need reliable rounds for regular target practice, Berry's superior plated pistol bullets deliver performance that other bullet types can't match.
