Berry'S Superior Plated Handgun Bullets .44 Cal .429" 240 Gr Fp 500/Ct

Berry's Superior Plated .44 Cal handgun bullets offer a cost-effective, lead-free alternative for reloaders working up .44 Special or .44 Magnum loads. These 240-grain flat-point rounds are engineered for precision: each bullet is swaged to weight, electroplated, and re-struck to ensure consistent dimensions and reliable feeding and accuracy downrange. Whether you're loading for a revolver on the range or in the field, plated bullets deliver the cleanliness of jacketed performance at a fraction of the price.

The flat-point profile and 240-grain mass make these versatile for a range of handloading scenarios. Because they're plated rather than cast, there's no lead fouling buildup in your barrel—a major advantage if you shoot indoors or in ranges where lead exposure is a concern. That plating also means you can push these bullets harder than pure lead while maintaining bore cleanliness, though Berry's rates them for velocities up to 1250 fps to ensure consistent performance and longevity.

You'll want to respect the SAAMI maximum cartridge overall length (COL) specs when seating: .44 Special loads max out at 1.500" COL, while .44 Magnum can go to 1.610" COL. A 500-count box gives you plenty of rounds to develop a load, test accuracy, and hit your target practice or hunting schedule without breaking the bank on components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these bullets for both .44 Special and .44 Magnum?

Yes. These .44 Cal bullets work in both cartridges. However, you must respect the SAAMI maximum cartridge overall length for each: 1.500" for .44 Special and 1.610" for .44 Magnum. Always seat according to your specific load and measure COL carefully.

Do plated bullets foul the barrel like cast lead?

No. The electroplate coating prevents lead from depositing on the bore, making these ideal for shooters concerned about lead exposure or those shooting in indoor ranges where lead management is monitored.

What velocity should I load these to?

Berry's rates these plated bullets for velocities up to 1250 fps. Always start with published handloads for your specific cartridge and gradually work up while monitoring pressure signs and accuracy.

How many bullets are in a box?

This is a 500-count box, giving you a full supply for load development, practice, or hunting without frequent reordering.
