Overview
Designed for handloaders working with .38 and .357 caliber applications, these 125-grain flat point bullets are built for consistent use in compatible revolver loads. Berry’s swaged-and-plated construction is intended to provide a more economical option than jacketed bullets while avoiding lead fouling in the barrel. They are specified for a minimum velocity of 800 fps and can withstand velocities up to 1250 fps, with SAAMI maximum cartridge overall lengths listed for both .357 Magnum and .38 Special. This 1,000-count box suits shooters assembling practice or range ammunition who want a plated bullet option with defined load parameters.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for .357/.38 caliber use, so it is not a universal option across other handgun setups.
- The stated velocity window is specific: minimum 800 fps and up to 1250 fps, which may limit load development outside that range.
- SAAMI overall length limits are listed separately for .357 Magnum and .38 Special, so cartridge setup needs to match the intended application.
- As plated bullets, they are positioned as a more affordable alternative to jacketed rounds, which may matter if you are comparing component cost rather than maximum versatility.
