$108.74
Berry's Preferred Plated rifle bullets in .30 Carbine offer shooters a practical, budget-conscious option for practice loads, handloading projects, and competitive shooting without sacrificing quality. These 110-grain round-nose projectiles use copper plating instead of traditional jacketing—a proven method that keeps costs down while delivering reliable performance and clean barrels. Made right here in the USA by Berry's Manufacturing in St. George, Utah, these bullets combine half a century of American manufacturing expertise with straightforward, no-nonsense design.
The plating process itself is what sets these apart from unplated lead bullets. Berry's swages each bullet, applies the copper plate, and then re-strikes them to exact weight and dimensional tolerances. That extra step ensures consistent ballistics and the clean-shooting benefits of a plated surface without the premium price tag of full-jacket construction. Handloaders and high-volume shooters appreciate this balance: you get the barrel-friendly, low-lead-fouling performance of a jacketed bullet at a fraction of the cost, making them ideal for building affordable practice ammunition or testing loads before committing to premium projectiles.
Rated to handle velocities up to 1950 feet per second, these 110-grain .308" diameter bullets give you a realistic performance envelope for standard .30 Carbine loads. Whether you're breaking in a new rifle, running drills on steel at the range, or loading volume for a carbine-focused shooting club, Berry's Preferred Plated bullets deliver the quality and consistency that have built the brand's reputation among discerning reloaders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these bullets suitable for reloading .30 Carbine ammunition?
Yes. These are loaded to .30 Carbine specifications with a .308" diameter and 110-grain weight. The 1.680" cartridge overall length is the standard dimension for .30 Carbine, making them compatible with .30 Carbine rifle chambers.
Will plated bullets foul my barrel with lead?
No. The copper plating seals the lead core, preventing lead from depositing on the barrel walls. This is one of the main advantages of plated bullets over bare lead projectiles, and it delivers cleaner shooting without requiring the expense of full-jacket construction.
What velocities can these bullets safely handle?
These 110-grain plated bullets are rated to handle velocities up to 1950 feet per second. Stay within that range when developing .30 Carbine loads to maintain structural integrity and reliable performance.
Why choose plated bullets over jacketed bullets?
Plated bullets offer a cost advantage—they're significantly less expensive than traditional copper-jacketed projectiles while still providing the clean-shooting, barrel-friendly performance of a sealed projectile. They're an excellent choice for practice loads, high-volume shooting, or testing handloads before committing premium materials.
