Berry'S Superior Plated Handgun Bullets .38/.357 Cal .357" 125 Gr Thp 1000/
$109.49
Berry's Superior Plated Handgun Bullets in .38/.357 caliber are built for shooters who want reliable, clean-shooting ammunition without the lead-fouling issues of cast rounds. These 125-grain target hollow point bullets deliver accuracy and consistency at a price point that won't break the bank for high-volume practice or serious reloading. Whether you're handloading for .38 Special or .357 Magnum, Berry's plating process eliminates barrel leading while their swaged-and-struck construction ensures tight tolerances and dependable performance downrange.
The target hollow point profile serves dual purposes: it cuts a cleaner hole through paper for better shot evaluation, and the extended nose design increases contact area with your barrel's rifling, helping stabilize the bullet in flight. That longer bearing surface translates to the kind of accuracy that matters when you're dialing in loads or working through a precision shooting session at the range. With a 1000-round bulk pack, you've got plenty of rounds to develop your reload recipe and refine your technique without constantly restocking.
Berry's manufacturing process—swaging and plating to final weight, then re-striking for consistency—means minimal variance from round to round. These bullets can handle velocities up to 1250 fps, giving you flexibility in load development across both .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Clean, accurate, and economical, they're a solid choice for handloaders who don't want to compromise on quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these bullets for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum?
Yes. The .357" diameter and 125-grain weight work in both calibers. Note the different maximum cartridge overall lengths (COL): 1.550" for .38 Spl and 1.590" for .357 Mag, which you'll need to observe when assembling your reloads.
Why are plated bullets better than cast for my barrel?
Plated bullets have a copper coating that prevents lead from depositing in your barrel, so you won't deal with lead fouling that can degrade accuracy and require aggressive cleaning. They're also more economical than traditional jacketed rounds.
What does the target hollow point design do?
The hollow point cuts a cleaner, more defined hole through paper targets for easier shot evaluation. The longer nose profile increases contact with your barrel's rifling, which stabilizes the bullet and helps improve accuracy compared to bullets with shorter bearing surfaces.
What velocity range should I load these for?
Berry's rates these bullets for velocities up to 1250 fps, giving you a safe upper limit for load development in both .38 and .357 loads.
