Berry's made its name with plated handgun bullets, and this 55 grain FMJ boat tail is their jump into jacketed rifle projectiles. It's a .224 diameter bullet sized for .223 Remington and 5.56mm, and it was built around tight tolerances with consistent jackets, which is exactly what you want when you're loading up volume for the range. The boat tail profile trims air drag a little downrange, and the cannelure gives you a clean spot to put a solid crimp.
The 55 grain weight is the classic .223/5.56 bullet weight, so load data is everywhere. You can run any published jacketed load data for a 55 grain .224 bullet, which makes workup simple whether you're feeding a bolt gun or an AR. The G1 ballistic coefficient lands right around .240 to .245 with a sectional density of .157, putting it squarely in the zone for flat-shooting plinking and practice loads out to normal range distances.
These are projectiles only, not loaded ammo, so they're meant to go on your press with your own brass, primers, and powder. The full metal jacket construction holds up well to feeding in semi-autos and won't leave the lead fouling you'd fight with bare cast bullets. The cannelure is a nice touch for anyone crimping gas gun ammo where bullet setback matters.
Shooters who load these tend to point out the clean, uniform look of the bullets and how well they group for practice ammo. If you're building a stockpile of blasting and training rounds without spending big on premium match projectiles, this is a sensible middle ground that puts quality jackets and a familiar 55 grain profile in your loading tray. Made in the USA, and ready for high-volume work.
No, these are projectiles only, meaning just the bullets themselves. You'll need your own brass, primers, and powder to load them. They are intended for reloading .223 Remington and 5.56mm cartridges on your own press.
You can use any published load data for a 55 grain jacketed .224 bullet. Since 55 grain is the most common .223/5.56 bullet weight, data is easy to find in most manuals and from powder makers. Always start low and work up as the data instructs.
Yes, these bullets feature a cannelure, which gives you a clean groove to apply a solid crimp. That's especially handy for semi-auto rifle loads where you want to guard against bullet setback during feeding.
No, this is a true jacketed rifle bullet, not a plated projectile. It was Berry's first jacketed rifle bullet, built with consistent copper jackets and tight tolerances around a lead core. That full metal jacket construction holds up well in higher-velocity rifle loads.
