Anyone here ever load or shoot any of these Berrys bullets ?
If so how do they compare to a regular jacketed bullet ?
Do they lead the barrel or can you load them just like you would if using a jacketed bullet ? I have a chance to pick some up for in my 9mm ( 124gr hollow point ) What little I read about them says they are " Plated " ???

    Found a deal on .45 cal..452 dia. 230 gr. round nose, plated berrys bullets. Can't find any info. On loading them. Their the same size as the hornady .45 cal. 230 gr. fmj- r n bullets except there 7 thousandths shorter. Would it be safe to use the hornady info to load these bullets. Called berrys and couldnt get anyone on phone who new anything about them. Secratary ask if she could help, i just hung up. Need to load them their the only ones I can find around here and I'm bout out of ammo.
    Hornady info is accurate #5. 6.5 to 7.4 coal 1.210
    Thanks JW

    I shoot Berry's bullets out of my 40. Anything from light to full power loads. Never had a problem. Load and shoot as if they were normal jacketed bullets.

    I had bad luck with them. Seemed to be a little more variation than the Ranier's I use. I get the Raniers just a little cheaper than that... May be worth checking out. The Berry's I used were in 40S&W and 380ACP The 380 is just a PIA in general and suggest no one try to load the little finger pinching buggers.
