Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets 9mm .356" 124gr FP 1000/ct
Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in 9mm .356" 124gr flat point are purpose-built for reloaders who demand consistent, reliable ammunition components without the expense of solid copper rounds. This 1000-count box gives you a full year's worth of range sessions or competitive shooting, all manufactured in-house at Berry's St. George, Utah facility using their meticulous copper-plating process.
The flat point profile is more than just aesthetics—it's engineered for real-world reloading convenience. The geometry makes it easier to seat bullets to your desired overall length (OAL) without fighting the press, and the profile feeds reliably through most 9mm platforms, whether you're running a semi-auto or revolver. That matters when you're processing a thousand rounds and don't want to troubleshoot seating issues halfway through a loading session.
Berry's copper-plating process starts with a swaged lead core formed under high pressure to ensure uniform density for stable flight. The core is then electroplated with a layer of copper that completely encases the lead—no exposed lead, no mess. After plating, the bullets are re-struck through a sizing die to reinforce the copper bond, smooth out imperfections, and lock in precise overall length and diameter specs. Each round is inspected for quality before it ships. The result is reduced barrel fouling, better velocity consistency, and performance that holds up across multiple reloading cycles.
These are unloaded bullets only—ideal for handloaders who want to dial in their own powder charges, primers, and case prep for 9mm target work, training, or match shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these bullets safe for indoor range use?
Yes. The copper-plated construction eliminates exposed lead, making these suitable for indoor ranges that restrict lead-core bullets. The plating reduces barrel fouling as well, which is an added benefit for frequent shooters.
Will these feed reliably in my 9mm semi-auto?
The flat point profile is designed for reliable feeding in standard 9mm firearms, including semi-automatic pistols. However, always test a small batch in your specific gun and confirm that your reloads meet your firearm manufacturer's OAL and pressure specifications.
What's included in the 1000-count box?
The box contains 1000 unloaded bullets only. You will need to supply your own brass, primers, and powder to reload complete ammunition.
Why would I choose plated bullets over solid copper or lead cast bullets?
Plated bullets from Berry's offer a middle ground: they're more economical than solid copper while eliminating the lead-exposure concerns of bare lead cast bullets. The copper coating reduces fouling and improves performance, and these particular rounds are made with a precisely swaged core and re-struck for consistency—qualities that matter when you're reloading in volume.
