Powder Valley has great prices on Berry's. I've shot over 1k and like them a lot, just bought another 2k.

Glock 26 Load:
Berry's 115gr Plated Bullets
5.3gr of Unique
Winchester Small Pistol Primers
OAL 1.130
1089 average FPS
Taper crimped
 
I started using Xtreme for my full-power 10mm loads. No issues with almost 1,000 rounds downrange.

This was my concern. I hotrod my 10mm's and I cannot get away with doing it to Berry's.

Why plated??? Because I don't like cleaning lead out of my barrels.
 
You should go directly to Berry's Bullets or another manufacturer and forget retail altogether. As mentioned, shipping will hurt otherwise.
Thickly plated or not the use cast bullet data. Jacketed they ain't.
 
Sunray, I'm not trying to be an @$$, but you are incorrect on two counts.
1. Berry's 124 HBRN-TP are made specifically for .38 Super loads to 1500 FPS. I've shot thousands of them using FULL jacketted data with "0" problems with the plating or anything else. ALL the Berry's 9mm "TP" bullets are rated to 1500 FPS. Speer G.D. Hollow points are plated bullets. Bonded plating, but plated never-the-less.
2. Berry's pricing is higher than several of their distributers including shipping.
T.J. Conevera and several others.

Posted this response so incorrect assumptions won't go out as facts.

I shoot mostly jacketted bullets, but some of the plated bullets available now are well-made for all around use in pistols.
 
Xtreme by far, with the discounted shipping they have now makes it a plus. Used powerbond bullets previously but when they secured a new lead supplier the prices went sky high (still a quality product though).
 
Right now at RMR Bullets we have some very nice seconds in 9mm 115 and 124 round nose; 40 cal. 165 flat nose, and 45 230 round nose. These seconds are quite good and shoot well. Our customer like them a lot.

Also, we will be including samples of our Rocky Mountain Thunder hard cast lead bullets with orders of other bullets in the same caliber. These are some of the nicest hard cast bullets you can find and we encourage shooters to try them. Our RMT bullets are easy on both your wallet and your barrel!
