I have some Berry's and they say keep them under 1,500 for whatever that is worth.

Recommended max at 1,200, their concave base and target hp can go 1,500.

I’ve loaded a lot of these in .357 mag, I like extreme bullets

Let us know what load you develop and how it shoots for you.
Stay safe.

I still order from them, I got a 1k of 158gr plated double end wadcutters for .357 and 1k of 158gr plated SWCs from them last year. The shipped pretty fast and I have no complaints with them.
I always liked their bullets, and still use them.

Extreme is one of the brands I find at my local Cabelas, for whatever that's worth. I actually like them better than Berrys.

I've used Titegroup 3.9grs, but it was for my wife and she doesn't like heavier loads, also AA#7 6.8grs and HP-38 4.2grs. All with 124 CPFP from eXtreme in a 9mm. Maybe you can compare the pressures for what you're shooting?

X-tremes were my go to plated bullets for 9mm and 45 ACP for a long time. But after their reorg, they priced themselves out of my personal market with their shipping costs. I’m getting jacketed bullets delivered cheaper. But, nowadays, you pretty much take what you can get. Their recommended velocities were never a problem for me as I never approached their speed limit anyway.

Follow the manufacturer's max velocity and don't over "crimp"! These will disintegrate when pushed and especially if accepted reloading protocols are not followed! As an RO/RSO standing behind some shooters I've seen first hand bullets separate but I can't say for sure what caused the separation. Except in one case where I inspected the ammo and saw evidence of over crimping.
I have current and pre B/K Extreme 9mm 124 grain plated R/N. They are capable of banging 8" steel at 100 yards "all day long" out of my 16" PPC!
The last order this month got here pretty fast!
For pushing 38 Super at higher velocities get jacketed!

Those bullets are .355"diameter. Supers are commonly .356". Have you slugged your barrel?

It probably doesn't matter because:
a) 9mm and 38 Super have the same SAAMI .355 + .004 groove diameter specifications.
b) Few 9mm and 38 Super barrels measure .355. Of the dozen or so 9mm barrels I've slugged, only 2 were less than .356.

Their website says .355”, but, FWIW, I have measured handfuls of X-treme 124gr HPs, FPs and heavy plated RNs and they all were over .355”, averaging .3555”. Very consistent and very good bullets IMO.
