Berry'S Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets 9Mm .356" 147 Gr Rn 1000/Ct
$117.44
Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in 9mm are a practical, cost-effective choice for reloaders who want clean, consistent ammunition without breaking the bank. These .356" 147-grain round-nose bullets come in a 1000-count box—enough for serious shooters to load a full season or get meaningful trigger time at your local range. Built with a swaged lead core and finished with electroplated copper, they deliver the performance you need whether you're working up loads for practice, competition, or defensive use.
What sets plated bullets apart from traditional jacketed rounds is the manufacturing process: the copper plating is applied electrochemically to the lead core, then the whole bullet is re-struck to precise specifications. This approach creates a solid bond between jacket and core while eliminating exposed lead—a big advantage if you shoot indoors or in spaces where lead exposure is a concern. You get clean, lead-free rounds without the premium cost of solid-copper bullets or the environmental compliance hassles of traditional lead ammunition.
The 147-grain weight in 9mm is popular for target loads and duty-weight carry rounds, and the round-nose profile feeds reliably through most pistols. Berry's plated bullets are known for consistency from round to round, which translates to tighter groups and more predictable performance as you dial in your load data. If you're reloading volume, this 1000-count box makes it easy to work up a batch and spend real time behind the gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these plated bullets safe to shoot indoors?
Yes. Because the lead core is fully encased in electroplated copper with no exposed lead, these bullets are indoor range safe. They produce significantly less airborne lead dust than bare-lead ammunition, making them a good choice for indoor facilities and shooters concerned about lead exposure.
What's the difference between plated and jacketed bullets?
Plated bullets have a thin electroplated copper coating applied to a swaged lead core, then re-struck for consistency. Jacketed bullets typically use a thicker copper jacket. Plated rounds cost less than traditional jacketed or solid-copper options while eliminating exposed lead, making them popular for high-volume reloading.
Are 147-grain 9mm bullets suitable for both target and defensive loads?
The 147-grain bullet weight is common in 9mm for both practice and duty ammunition. Consult your reloading manual for load data specific to your powder and primers to ensure safe performance for your intended use.
Will these bullets feed reliably in my semi-auto pistol?
The round-nose profile is designed for reliable feeding in most modern 9mm semi-automatic pistols. If you have concerns about compatibility with a specific firearm, test a small batch before committing to a full 1000-round box.
