Berry'S Hybrid Hp Handgun Bullets .40 S&W/10Mm .401" 180 Gr Hhp 1000/Ct
Berry's Hybrid HP handgun bullets for .40 S&W and 10mm are purpose-built for shooters who demand reliable expansion and deep, consistent penetration. The Hybrid Hollow Point design merges two proven hollow-point geometries into a single bullet that performs across both cartridges, making these .401" 180-grain rounds a smart choice for defensive loads, duty ammunition, or serious range work where performance matters. Each box contains 1,000 bullets—enough to keep your press running and your loads dialed in.
Built on a copper-plated construction with a swaged lead core, these bullets deliver the penetration profile you need for reliable stopping performance. When loaded at the recommended velocity window of 975 to 1,075 fps, the Hybrid HP penetrates 11 to 13 inches in ballistic gelatin while retaining at least 98 percent of its original weight—meaning you get controlled expansion without fragmenting or shedding jacket material unexpectedly. That weight retention translates to downrange energy and predictable terminal behavior, shot after shot.
Whether you're handloading .40 S&W or 10mm, these bullets work for both—just observe the published max cartridge overall length (COL) specs and your gun's chamber. The Hybrid design has earned its reputation among reloaders who value consistency, and a bulk 1,000-count box keeps your supply stable through seasons of shooting and testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these bullets for both .40 S&W and 10mm?
Yes. These .401" diameter bullets are suitable for both cartridges. However, you must respect the SAAMI maximum cartridge overall length (COL) for each: 1.135" for .40 S&W and 1.250" for 10mm. Always check your specific firearm's specifications and your reloading manual before assembling ammunition.
What velocity should I load these bullets to?
The recommended velocity range is 975 to 1,075 fps. Loading within this window is essential to achieve the designed penetration profile (11–13 inches) and weight retention (98% minimum) that the Hybrid Hollow Point was engineered for.
How many bullets come in a box?
Each box contains 1,000 bullets, giving reloaders a substantial supply for testing loads, practice, and duty ammunition development.
What kind of penetration can I expect from these rounds?
When loaded at the recommended 975–1,075 fps velocity, Berry's Hybrid HP bullets penetrate 11 to 13 inches in standard ballistic gelatin while retaining at least 98 percent of their original weight, resulting in controlled expansion and reliable terminal performance.
