Berry'S Superior Plated Handgun Bullets .40 S&W/10Mm .401" 155 Gr Hbrn 1000
$140.11
Berry's Superior Plated .40 S&W and 10mm handgun bullets offer an economical reloading solution without compromising on performance or barrel care. These 155-grain hollow-base plated bullets are engineered for shooters who load their own ammunition and want consistent accuracy at a fraction of the cost of traditional jacketed rounds. The copper-plated construction eliminates lead fouling in your barrel while delivering the ballistic performance you expect from a quality handgun bullet.
The hollow-base design is the standout feature here. By extending the bullet profile while maintaining the same weight, Berry's optimizes contact with your barrel's rifling. That increased bearing surface stabilizes the bullet during its journey down the bore, translating to tighter groups and more predictable shot placement. Whether you're punching paper at the range or running defensive drills, that accuracy edge matters.
Because these plated bullets maintain the same weight as standard jacketed alternatives, you can load them using any published load data for 155-grain jacketed bullets in your caliber. That means no guesswork, no reformulation—just straightforward reloading with bullets you trust. Berry's plating process swages each bullet to exact specifications and re-strikes for consistency, ensuring reliable feeding and performance across your reloading sessions.
At 1000 rounds per box, you're set for serious practice, competition prep, or building a deep supply. These bullets handle velocities up to 1250 fps, giving you room to develop loads suited to your gun and your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use published jacketed bullet load data with these plated bullets?
Yes. As long as you're using the same weight—155 grains in this case—you can load these plated bullets using any published load data developed for 155-grain jacketed bullets in your caliber. The weight is what matters for powder charge calculations.
Will these plated bullets foul my barrel with lead?
No. The copper plating prevents lead exposure, keeping your bore cleaner over extended shooting sessions and reducing the need for aggressive lead-removal cleaning between range days.
What's the advantage of the hollow-base design?
The hollow base allows the bullet profile to be longer while maintaining the same weight. This extends the bullet's contact area with your barrel's rifling, which stabilizes the bullet in flight and typically results in improved accuracy and tighter group sizes.
Do these bullets work in both .40 S&W and 10mm?
Yes. The .401" diameter fits both calibers. Be sure to observe the maximum cartridge overall length (COL) for your specific round: 1.135" for .40 S&W and 1.250" for 10mm.
