Overview

These plated 9mm bullets are intended for shooters building loads that call for a hollow-base design and a heavier plated construction. Berry’s describes them as swaged, plated to final weight, and re-struck for accuracy and precision, with a longer profile that keeps the listed 115-grain weight. The thick plate is specified to handle up to 1500 fps, making them suited to higher-velocity applications where that design is desired. They are presented as a more affordable alternative to jacketed bullets, while also being described as not fouling the barrel with lead.

Pros

  • Swaged and plated to final weight, then re-struck for accuracy and precision.
  • More affordable than jacketed rounds for volume loading.
  • Designed not to foul your barrel with lead.
  • Hollow base provides more contact area with barrel and rifling.
  • Thick plate is rated to handle up to 1500 fps.
  • 115-grain hollow base round nose profile keeps the stated weight while extending bullet length.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for higher-velocity use up to 1500 fps, so they are not a universal choice for every 9mm load or application.
  • The hollow-base, longer-profile design is intended to support accuracy, but it may require load development to match a specific setup.
  • These are plated bullets rather than jacketed rounds, which can be a practical cost trade-off for shooters prioritizing affordability over jacketed construction.
  • Pack size is 1,000 per box, which is efficient for volume loading but more than some shooters need for occasional use.
