Berry'S Superior Plated Handgun Bullets .50 Cal .500" 300 Gr Rs 150/Ct
$77.61
Berry's Superior Plated .50 Cal handgun bullets offer a practical alternative to traditional jacketed rounds for serious reloaders working with large-bore pistols. Each 300-grain .500" round nose bullet comes plated rather than jacketed, which means you get consistent performance without the lead fouling that can buildup in your barrel over time. At 150 rounds per box, these bullets are sized for shooters who want to keep costs down while maintaining quality and precision in their handload.
The manufacturing process—swaging and plating to final weight, then re-striking—ensures that each bullet meets strict standards for accuracy. That attention to consistency matters when you're developing loads or running high-volume practice sessions. The round nose profile is a classic design favored in big-bore pistol work, and the 300-grain weight strikes a balance between velocity capability and terminal performance.
These bullets are rated to handle velocities up to 2000 fps, which gives you a solid window for load development without pushing into dangerous territory. The maximum COL (cartridge overall length) of 2.250" keeps you within SAAMI specs, so you can work within established load data. Whether you're loading for hunting, testing at the range, or working up match loads, Berry's plated bullets deliver the precision reloaders expect without the premium price tag of full-jacketed ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these bullets suitable for reloading big-bore pistol ammo?
Yes. These are .500" 300-grain round nose bullets designed for .50 cal handgun reloading. They're plated rather than jacketed, which lowers cost while still preventing lead fouling in your barrel.
What velocity range should I load these to?
Berry's rates these bullets for velocities up to 2000 fps. The SAAMI MAX COL of 2.250" means you can reference standard load data for .50 cal handgun cartridges and work safely within those parameters.
Do plated bullets perform differently than jacketed bullets?
Plated bullets offer the core benefit of reduced barrel fouling compared to pure lead, and they're more affordable than fully jacketed rounds. Performance and accuracy depend on your specific load development, but the manufacturing process—swaging and re-striking for final weight—ensures consistency.
How many rounds are in a box?
Each box contains 150 bullets, making it economical for reloaders who shoot volume or want to stock up for load development work.
