Berry'S Superior Plated Pistol Bullets .45 Cal. .452" 200 Gr Round Nose 500

Berry's Superior Plated .45 caliber pistol bullets deliver the consistency and cleanliness serious handloaders need, whether you're working up loads for competition, defensive practice, or the range. These 200-grain round-nose bullets start with a swaged lead core and receive a copper electroplate coating applied to final weight—meaning there's no exposed lead, making them ideal for indoor range shooting where airborne lead contamination is a concern.

The electroplating process isn't just about lead containment; it's engineered for precision. After plating, each bullet is re-struck to exacting tolerances, ensuring the copper bond is solid and uniform. That attention to dimensional consistency translates to the kind of shot-to-shot reliability reloaders depend on, especially when you're chasing tight groups or load development data.

At .452" diameter and 200 grains, these round-nose projectiles are sized for standard .45 ACP and .45 Colt handloading. The round-nose profile offers predictable flight characteristics and penetration, making these bullets a no-nonsense choice for both function testing and accurate practice. With 500 bullets per box, you've got enough volume to develop and test loads without breaking the bank.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these bullets safe for indoor ranges?

Yes. The copper electroplate coating eliminates exposed lead, making them suitable for indoor range environments where lead exposure is a concern.

What calibers can I load these into?

These .45 caliber, .452" diameter bullets are designed for .45 ACP and .45 Colt handloading. Always verify compatibility with your specific firearm and load data before reloading.

Is this loaded ammunition?

No. This is reloading components—bullets only. You will need to assemble them with primers, powder, and brass cases using proper reloading procedures and published load data.

Why are these bullets re-struck after plating?

Re-striking after electroplating ensures the copper bond is solid and the bullets meet precise dimensional specifications. This process promotes consistency and reliable feeding in your handloads.
