Berry's Bullets

Berry's makes a very good line in the calibers mentioned.
I'd also suggest that you check-out RMR, as they offer THR members a 5% discount

Berry's 40S&W 180 gr TCFP and 6.1 gr Herco. Range report - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=743416

Berry's 9mm 124 gr HBRN-TP and W231/HP-38/Bullseye/Titegroup (see link for loads) - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=7266869#post7266869

Berry's 9mm 115 gr HBRN-TP and 6.1 gr Herco. Range report - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=745656

I've used Berry's & Rainier in 9mm, .40, .357 .45 Colt & .45 auto. Very happy with the results. I use starting loads for jacketed bullets & work up. Don't try to make cat sneeze or magnum loads out them though. 750 fps to 1,100 fps is the safe range for plated, unless they specify higher velocities.

Berry's 250 gr FN with 6.0 gr Red Dot/Promo shot well out of Henry Big Boy.

That's good pricing. I have never been disappointed with Berry's.

Never any problem with berrys in 9mm. 115gr and 124gr.

I like their hardcast 158 SWC in 357, particularly with 296.

Fine bullets, also try Xtreme bullets.

I've used them for years with no problems. I also shoot at an indoor range.

I use nothing but Berry's and Extremes....Berry's are a great bullet....go for it

So far Berry's are all I've used. Only load I've ever had an issue with was power pistol. My bet is I was driving too fast but didn't have a chrnoy when I tried. Maybe I'll load a couple and try again.

Hello...I've been using Berry bullets for my 40 S&W and 9mm for years and they work great.
Tried some Xtreme's in the .40 S&W and the accuracy went away. The only way I could get an accurate Xtreme bullet was to make a max load. Went back to Berry bullets. I use 124gr FN for 9mm and 180gr FN for the .40 S&W. Not as cheap as lead but they are accurate and reasonably priced. I use lead in standard barrels and plated in polygonal barrels.

I've also used oodles of them.

Take note of the FAQ on their website. They recommend using cast lead loading data instead of jacketed data. Also they recommend a light crimp only to avoid cutting into the plating and possibly causing it to separate in flight. For semi auto this is easy since you only want to straighten the case mouths or at most produce a very slight taper crimp. But for revolver loads where you might be used to stronger roll crimping into a cannelure groove you'll want to go for a lighter crimp where you just produce either no pinch or a barely noticeable amount of crimp indenting.

So far I have been impressed with the Berry's 124gr HBFP-TP bullets. It seems they are giving me better accuracy, but I still need to confirm it.

Since we are on the topic of Berry's bullets, does anybody know where you can find the best price on Berry's bullets, especially the 124gr HBFP-TP variety. Power Valley has a good price on them, but they haven't had any in stock for a while now.

Looks like you're going to try some... I also like the RMR Bullets (Rocky Mountain Reloading), especially their thick plated and Match bullets!

For Berry's, you can order direct, or from Powder Valley, or try TJ Conevera.

No matter what you settle on, load 'em up and shoot!

ArtofGolf,

"I'd also suggest that you check-out RMR, as they offer THR members a 5% discount".

I emailed RMR and asked how to get the 5% discount. They said to check with others on the forum to find out how to get the discount. Do you know how to get the discount from RMR?

BigGame, sent you a PM.

I have used Berry's for years in 9,40 & 45ACP. They have worked fine for me but
when my existing stocks are used up, I am going to try Extreme's. Their prices are lower and they are always offering special deals like free shipping and discounts on a weekly basis. That said I love MBC cast and most of my loads are MBC when I can use lead. YMMV.

Berrys ?

What is the difference (pros and cons) of the HB hollow base vs the regular plated bullets. I know the TP is thick plated and can take more velocity, but what difference does the hollow base make?
