Whether you're loading for hunting or extended-range pistol shooting, these .500" diameter projectiles offer the quality and uniformity that serious reloaders demand.
Plated bullets from Berry's represent a middle ground between full-jacketed and cast options—they're easier on barrel leading than pure lead, yet more economical than premium jacketed rounds.

With 500 bullets per box, you'll have enough rounds for meaningful practice sessions or hunting season without the premium cost of boutique ammunition.
Berry's has built its reputation on consistency and attention to detail, and these .50 AE bullets reflect that commitment. The plating process ensures uniform diameter across the entire batch, which translates to tighter groups and more predictable ballistics when you're handloading.
