Berry'S Superior Plated Handgun Bullets 9Mm .356" 135 Gr Hbfp 1000/Ct S
Berry's Superior Plated 9mm handgun bullets deliver the consistency and performance serious reloaders demand. These 135-grain hollow-base flat-point rounds combine precision manufacturing with practical velocity specs, making them a solid choice for target work, training, and defensive ammunition development. Built through a swaging and plating process that locks in final weight, then re-struck for uniformity, every round in the 1000-count box meets tight tolerances—so your loads perform the same shot after shot.
The hollow-base design is built into the engineering here. That recessed profile lets the bullet sit longer in the case, which means more contact surface riding the rifling as it travels down the barrel. The result is better stabilization and improved accuracy downrange, all without sacrificing the 135-grain weight you're loading for. If you've been using jacketed or cast-lead 135-grain rounds, you can pull existing load data and apply it directly to these plated bullets—they'll track the same velocity window.
Berry's plating gives you a clean, consistent bore compared to lead alternatives, with easier cleanup and less fouling over long shooting sessions. The 1000-round bulk format means you're set for extended range time, match prep, or serious volume reloading without constant resupply runs. Whether you're fine-tuning handloads for a match pistol or building reliable practice ammo, these bullets are engineered to shoot flat and true, round after round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use existing 9mm 135-grain load data with these bullets?
Yes. Berry's Superior Plated bullets are compatible with published load data for jacketed or cast-lead 135-grain rounds of the same weight, provided the load meets the 1250 fps maximum velocity specification.
What's the advantage of a hollow-base design?
The hollow-base profile allows the bullet to be longer in the cartridge while maintaining the 135-grain weight. That extra length increases the contact surface area with the barrel riflings, which improves stabilization and accuracy downrange.
How does the plating affect cleaning and maintenance?
Plated bullets generate less bore fouling than lead alternatives, which means easier cleanup after shooting sessions and less frequent deep cleaning of your barrel.
What's included in the 1000-count box?
You receive 1000 individual 9mm 135-grain hollow-base flat-point bullets, ready to reload into your preferred cartridge cases.
