Berry's Superior Plated Handgun Bullets 9mm .356" 115 gr HBRNTP 250/ct ts
Berry's Superior Plated Handgun Bullets in 9mm .356" 115 gr are engineered for reloaders who want accuracy and reliability without the premium cost of traditional jacketed rounds. These hollow base thick plate bullets deliver a practical alternative for high-volume shooters and competitive reloaders, combining the convenience of plated construction with performance characteristics that rival more expensive options. The 115-grain weight is a proven standard for 9mm handgun loading, whether you're feeding a carry gun, range gun, or competition platform.
Berry's plating process—swaging, plating to final weight, and re-striking for consistency—ensures each bullet meets dimensional tolerances critical for reliable feeding and accuracy. The hollow base design is the key differentiator here: it extends the bullet profile while holding weight constant, which means you gain extra contact area with your barrel's rifling. More contact equals better stabilization and tighter groups downrange. The thick electroplating resists barrel fouling that can plague cast lead bullets, keeping your bore cleaner and shooting longer between cleanings.
These bullets are rated to handle velocities up to 1500 fps, giving you plenty of headroom for standard 9mm handloads. Since the weight matches conventional jacketed bullets, you can safely use any published load data for 115-grain jacketed rounds—no need to develop new loads from scratch. With 250 rounds per container, you've got enough for a solid range session, practice block, or competition prep. SAAMI maximum cartridge overall length is 1.169", standard for 9mm specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use standard 9mm load data with these bullets?
Yes. Because these 115-grain plated bullets match the weight of conventional jacketed bullets, you can safely use any published load data for 115-grain jacketed rounds without modification.
Will these bullets foul my barrel like cast lead?
No. The thick electroplate coating prevents lead fouling, keeping your bore cleaner than traditional cast bullets. Regular cleaning is still recommended for optimal performance, but you won't experience the heavy lead buildup cast rounds can leave behind.
What velocities can these bullets safely handle?
Berry's rates these bullets for velocities up to 1500 fps. This provides ample headroom for standard 9mm handloads and won't limit your load development within normal pressure ranges.
How many rounds are in a container?
Each container holds 250 bullets, giving you a full brick for a range session or competitive shooting event.
