Berry'S 59964 Superior 38/357 158Gr Flat Point

The Berry's 59964 Superior 38/357 158 grain flat point bullet is a versatile handload choice for reloaders working with .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges. Whether you're developing loads for target practice, duty rounds, or hunting applications, these 158-grain projectiles deliver consistent performance across a wide velocity range. The flat point profile is a proven design for reliable feeding, controlled expansion, and predictable ballistics—a workhorse bullet that's been trusted in wheelguns for decades.

Berry's Superior line represents their commitment to consistent quality without the premium pricing of boutique manufacturers. Each bullet is produced to exacting standards, ensuring uniform weight, diameter, and point shape so your loads perform as intended. For handloaders who care about precision but work within a budget, Superior bullets offer a genuine step up from the absolute baseline options. You get shootable accuracy and dependable function without paying for flashy marketing.

The 158-grain weight sits at the sweet spot for .38/.357 handloads—heavy enough to deliver solid energy and penetration, yet light enough to remain manageable in softer-recoiling .38 Special loads and still accelerate meaningfully in magnum velocities. Flat point geometry favors semi-wadcutter ballistics and is well-suited to both revolver and semi-automatic platforms that handle .38 Super or other straight-wall .38/.357 cartridges. Reloaders appreciate the straightforward design: no exotic alloys, no special handling, just reliable copper-jacketed lead-core bullets ready for your dies.
