Berrys 97080 Superior Pistol .44 Caliber .429 240 GR Flat Point Bullets - 200 Count Box

If you reload .44 Special or .44 Magnum, Berry's 97080 Superior Pistol .44 caliber bullets deliver consistent, affordable performance without the mess of cast lead. These 240-grain flat point projectiles are plated rather than jacketed—a smart choice for handloaders who want clean brass, a cleaner barrel, and significantly lower cost per round compared to traditional jacketed ammunition. With over five decades of family-owned manufacturing behind them, Berry's has earned a solid reputation for quality that handloaders trust.

Each box contains 200 bullets, sized at .429 diameter and swaged then re-struck for dimensional accuracy. The plating process brings each bullet to its final weight, which matters when you're trying to maintain consistency shot to shot. The flat point design works well across both .44 Special and .44 Magnum loads, though your specific load data and chronograph will determine your optimal velocity and powder charge for your firearm and intended use.

Plated bullets sit in the sweet spot for reloaders: they're durable enough to handle the pressure and velocity of magnum pistol loads, they won't leave hard lead deposits in your barrel, and they cost less than comparable jacketed options. Whether you're developing hunting loads, working up target loads for practice, or loading ammunition for personal defense, Berry's plated bullets give you the precision and economy that make reloading worthwhile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these bullets work for both .44 Special and .44 Magnum?

Yes—both cartridges use the same .429 diameter bullet. The difference is in your case length, powder charge, and velocity. Berry's provides the standard overall length (COL) for each: 1.475 inches for .44 Special, 1.575 inches for .44 Magnum. Always follow established load data for your specific cartridge and firearm.

Are plated bullets safe for my barrel?

Plated bullets are designed specifically to eliminate lead fouling. The copper plating protects your barrel from lead deposits that cast bullets can leave behind, meaning cleaner barrels and less maintenance between shooting sessions.

How many bullets are in a box?

Each box contains 200 bullets, giving you enough for a solid reloading session or to build a small supply for practice or hunting loads.

Can these bullets handle magnum velocities?

Berry's rates these 240-grain plated bullets for velocities up to 1250 fps. Your actual velocity will depend on your specific load, powder, case, and firearm. Always use published load data and work up carefully from minimum loads.
