Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in .38/357 caliber give handloaders a reliable, consistent foundation for building accurate practice and competition rounds. These 148-grain hollow base wad cutter bullets are engineered for the shooter who demands quality without the premium of solid copper construction. Berry's plating process delivers smooth, consistent dimensions that feed reliably through progressive presses and produce tight groups on the range.
The .357" diameter and 148-grain weight make these bullets ideal for .38 Special and .357 Magnum loading, whether you're developing target loads for bullseye competition or keeping your practice ammunition costs reasonable. The hollow base wad cutter design is a proven performer in .38 Special target work—the flat nose cuts clean holes for easy scoring, and the hollow base promotes bullet expansion and consistent velocity. A full 1000-round bulk pack keeps you loaded without frequent reordering.
