Berry'S Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets .38 Super .356" 130 Gr Rn 1000/Box

Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in .38 Super are built for reloaders who demand consistency and reliability in every round. These .356" 130-grain round nose bullets come in bulk—1,000 per box—making them an economical choice for high-volume shooters, competition handloaders, and practice sessions. Berry's has spent over five decades refining their reloading bullet lineup, and these plated rounds reflect that commitment to quality and performance.

What sets plated bullets apart is their construction. Unlike bare lead projectiles, the plating provides a harder exterior surface that reduces fouling in your barrel and makes cleanup easier. For .38 Super shooters, that translates to less frequent bore scrubbing and more consistent velocities downrange. The 130-grain round nose profile is a classic choice for this cartridge, offering a balance of velocity and accuracy that works well for both target work and practical pistol applications.

Reloaders appreciate Berry's because their bullets are manufactured to tight diameter tolerances, so you spend less time sorting and more time at the bench or range. With 1,000 rounds per box, you're stocked for serious volume without constant reorders. Whether you're loading for a Steel Challenge match, working up loads for your 1911, or running drills at the range, these bullets give you a solid foundation for quality handloads.
