Are any of you using Berry's Hybrid Hollow Point bullets for ccw? Not looking for a debate about pros and cons of reloads for ccw.
Hi Alan, which cartridge are you looking to load them for? In 9mm, I tried a few different powders to get to the recommended velocity. If you haven't already purchased any, as @Otto said, RMRs Nukes would be price worthy to look at.Are any of you using Berry's Hybrid Hollow Point bullets for ccw?

I'd probably lean more toward a quality jacketed bullet myself. If we're talking 9mm or 45 ACP, I'd probably pick a Montanna, RMR, or Zero JHP over a Berry plated myself.Are any of you using Berry's Hybrid Hollow Point bullets for ccw?

I’d use RMR’s Nukes over Berry’s without thinking twice about it.
I'll never use Berry's defense bullets again. The plating is ultra thin, and the lead very soft. I had the only rounds I've ever seen "keyhole" using these. These would honestly be my last choice....everything else I've ever used, I've liked.Are any of you using Berry's Hybrid Hollow Point bullets for ccw?

But with the title you gave this thread....you might get it anyways.Not looking for a debate about pros and cons of reloads for ccw.
These are some of the things I also told Berry's customers service in my complaint against these. They tried telling me I pushed them too fast, and I chronod' them at the low end of their recommend velocity.I shot some into water jugs. Some of them did not retain their weight and the petals broke off. Not saying that water is a suitable gauge for how they will do in human tissue. But if they couldn't stay together in that medium, it doesn't look good.
I didn’t even consider a plated hollow point for CCW. There are lots of JHPs that are designed for stopping power. I just got a heavy box of RMR 124 nukes to play with but I like to carry heavier 9s. I’ll load them for emergency use only for my BUG.Are any of you using Berry's Hybrid Hollow Point bullets for ccw?
