Berry'S Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets .32 Acp .312" 71 Gr Rn 1000/Box
Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in .32 ACP are a solid choice for reloaders who want dependable, consistent ammunition at volume. Each box contains 1,000 rounds of .312" diameter, 71-grain round-nose bullets—enough to keep your press running for a serious reloading session. These plated bullets deliver the quality you'd expect from a family-owned manufacturer that's been refining its craft for over five decades.
Plated bullets split the difference between jacketed and cast rounds. They offer better velocity consistency and cleaner shooting than pure lead, while costing less than traditional jacketed ammunition. The round-nose profile is a time-tested design for .32 ACP target work and practice, and the precise .312" diameter ensures they'll chamber cleanly and shoot true across standard .32 pistols.
If you shoot .32 ACP regularly—whether at the range or in competition—buying bullets by the thousand lets you reload at your own pace without constantly reordering. Berry's has built its reputation on consistency and reliability, so you can focus on hand-loading technique rather than worrying about bullet quality. Load them hot or load them mild; these plated rounds will perform either way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these .32 ACP bullets work in my pistol?
These are .312" diameter, standard for .32 ACP. They'll chamber and fire in any firearm chambered for that caliber. If you're unsure, check your pistol's markings or consult the manufacturer.
What's the difference between plated and jacketed bullets?
Plated bullets have a thin copper coating bonded to a lead core, delivering better velocity consistency and cleaner burning than pure lead cast bullets. They're not quite as tough as traditional copper-jacketed rounds, but they cost significantly less and perform reliably for target work and practice.
How many rounds can I reload from a 1,000-count box?
A box of 1,000 bullets makes 1,000 finished cartridges. You'll also need brass cases, powder, and primers—this box covers just the projectile component.
Are these bullets good for .32 ACP competition or just plinking?
The 71-grain round-nose profile is versatile enough for range practice, target shooting, and informal competition. The round nose is a classic design; performance will depend on your load data, powder selection, and firearm.
