Berry'S Superior Plated Handgun Bullets .40 S&W/10Mm .401" 155 Gr Rs 1000/C

Berry's Superior Plated Handgun Bullets in .40 S&W/10mm are a cost-effective alternative to traditional jacketed ammunition without sacrificing reliability or barrel life. These .401" 155-grain roundnose bullets are swaged and electroplated to precise final weight, then re-struck to ensure consistent dimension and performance—the kind of attention to detail that matters when you're reloading for accuracy. A 1000-count case gives you plenty of rounds to load, whether you're feeding a .40 S&W or 10mm platform.

If you reload, you already know the math: plated bullets deliver performance comparable to jacketed alternatives at a friendlier cost per round, and they eliminate the lead-fouling issues that come with cast bullets. Berry's plating process—applied after swaging to final weight—creates a hard, uniform jacket that allows these rounds to run clean through your barrel. That means less cleaning frequency and more time at the range or in the field.

Built to handle velocities up to 1250 fps, these bullets work across a range of powder charges and load recipes. The 155-grain weight in .40 S&W and 10mm sits in the practical sweet spot for duty, defense, and target loads—manageable recoil with proven ballistics. Each case ships ready to sort, inspect, and load into your preferred brass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between plated and jacketed handgun bullets?

Plated bullets use an electroplated copper coating applied after the bullet is swaged to final weight, while jacketed bullets feature a thicker drawn-and-formed jacket. Berry's plated design delivers clean, lead-free performance at lower cost. Both are suitable for reloading; plated bullets are popular with high-volume shooters and reloaders seeking affordability and consistency.

Can I use these in both .40 S&W and 10mm?

Yes. The .401" diameter and 155-grain weight work in both cartridges. Note the different overall lengths (OAL) listed: 1.125" for .40 S&W and 1.260" for 10mm. You'll need to adjust your reloading dies and verify seating depth for whichever platform you're loading.

Will these bullets foul my barrel like cast bullets?

No. The electroplated jacket prevents lead fouling. These bullets run clean and won't require the extra barrel maintenance associated with cast ammunition.

What loads can I safely run with 155-grain plated bullets?

These bullets are rated to handle velocities up to 1250 fps, which covers the range of typical defensive and target loads in both .40 S&W and 10mm. Always consult your reloading manual for your specific powder and primer combination, and start at the minimum load and work up carefully.
