Berry's 98192 Superior .45 Cal 230 GR RN Bullets - 250 Count Box

The Berry's 98192 Superior .45 Cal 230 GR RN bullets are a reloader's go-to for consistent, reliable handloads without the premium cost of jacketed rounds. These plated .45 ACP bullets come in a 250-count box, offering enough component for serious shooters to build a meaningful supply. Berry's has spent over five decades refining their manufacturing process, and this round nose design reflects that heritage—quality you can trust whether you're loading for a 1911, Commander, or full-size service pistol.

What sets these bullets apart is Berry's commitment to precision manufacturing. Each bullet is swaged and electroplated to exact specifications, then re-struck to ensure dimensional accuracy that translates directly to tighter groups and more consistent performance at the bench or in the field. The plating eliminates lead fouling in your barrel—a real advantage for shooters who put serious rounds downrange—while keeping your cost per round substantially lower than jacketed alternatives.

Rated for velocities up to 1,250 feet per second, these 230-grain round nose bullets give you a platform for mid-range to moderate handloads that prioritize accuracy and barrel longevity. Whether you're fine-tuning a load for competition, preparing for a training course, or simply stocking your reloading bench with dependable .45 ACP components, Berry's reputation for consistent quality means you can focus on your shooting, not your ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What .45 ACP handguns work with these 230-grain bullets?

These round nose bullets are suitable for most standard .45 ACP firearms, including M1911 variants, modern polymer .45s, and other handguns chambered in .45 ACP. As always, confirm your rifle's specifications and load data before assembling any handload.

Why choose plated bullets over jacketed ones for reloading?

Plated bullets cost significantly less than jacketed rounds while delivering comparable performance for most applications. The electroplating process prevents lead fouling in your barrel, which means less cleaning between sessions and longer barrel life—especially valuable if you're running high round counts.

How many rounds does a 250-count box represent?

Each box contains 250 individual bullets, enough to load 250 complete .45 ACP cartridges when combined with your cases, powder, and primers.

What load data should I use with these Berry's bullets?

Consult established reloading manuals or load data from powder manufacturers for .45 ACP loads using 230-grain round nose bullets. These bullets are rated for velocities up to 1,250 fps, so select loads within that velocity window.
