Overview
These plated .45 caliber bullets are intended for shooters loading .45 ACP ammunition who want a cost-conscious option for regular range use. The fully enclosed copper plating is designed to help reduce airborne lead and fouling, while the hollow base round nose profile suits standard pistol applications. Berry’s also notes that each bullet is swaged to size and weight, plated, and then swaged again to the specified diameter. They are suitable for all standard pistol velocities and are packaged 250 per box.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for standard pistol velocities, so they are not presented here as a choice for higher-velocity applications.
- The plated construction is positioned as a lower-cost alternative to jacketed projectiles, which may be a trade-off for buyers prioritizing that class of bullet.
- The hollow base round nose profile is specific to this load, so it is less flexible if you need a different bullet shape for a particular use.
- Packaged in a 250-count box, which may be more than needed for smaller-volume buyers.
