Berry'S Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets .40 Cal/10Mm .401" 180 Gr Rs 1000/C
Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets deliver consistent, reliable performance for reloaders working with .40 caliber and 10mm handguns. These 180-grain round-nose bullets come plated to exacting specifications—a 1,000-round case that gives you solid volume for regular range sessions or competition shooting. Berry's has spent over five decades perfecting bullet manufacturing, and these rounds reflect that commitment to quality. Whether you're fine-tuning a .40 S&W load or developing precision 10mm ammunition, plated bullets offer the cleanliness and dimensional consistency that serious handgun reloaders depend on.
The .401" diameter ensures proper fit across standard .40 and 10mm platforms. The 180-grain weight sits in the middle of the typical range for these calibers, making it versatile for defensive, hunting, or target applications. Plating eliminates copper fouling compared to bare lead, keeping your barrels cleaner and reducing cleanup time—especially valuable if you're pushing volume on the range or reloading for multiple shooters.
A thousand rounds per case gives you economy without sacrificing quality. This is the kind of foundational component that serious reloaders stock in quantity, knowing they're getting consistent performance across every single round. If you're developing handloads for .40 or 10mm and want a proven, plated bullet that won't nickel-and-dime your supplies, Berry's Preferred line is built for shooters who reload smart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these .401" plated bullets work in my .40 S&W or 10mm handgun?
Yes. The .401" diameter is the standard for both .40 caliber and 10mm platforms. Verify your reloading manual for appropriate powder charges and overall length specs for your specific cartridge.
What's the advantage of plated bullets over bare lead?
Plated bullets reduce copper and lead fouling in your barrel, keeping your gun cleaner with less cleanup required between sessions. They also provide more consistent velocities and tighter grouping compared to unplated lead.
How much does 1,000 rounds of bullets cost?
Check the product listing at Bosque Outdoors for current pricing.
Can I reload these for both .40 S&W and 10mm using the same load data?
No. Always consult a reloading manual for load data specific to each cartridge. .40 S&W and 10mm have different pressure tolerances and require separate load development.
