Berry's 41760 is a 230-grain round nose plated bullet built for 45 ACP handloaders who want jacketed-style cleanliness without the jacketed-style cost. These are a true .452 diameter projectile with a classic round nose profile that mimics the old military ball load, so they feed smooth and chamber reliably in 1911s, Glock 21s, revolvers, and 45 ACP pistol-caliber carbines. This listing is for the component bullet only, not loaded ammunition.
The way Berry's builds these is what sets them apart. A swaged lead core gets electroplated with copper to final weight, then re-struck in a carbide die to lock in a uniform diameter and consistent weight from bullet to bullet. That plating fully encapsulates the core, so there's no exposed lead to foul your bore or throw airborne lead at an indoor range. For most people, the payoff is a bullet that shoots about as clean as a jacketed round for noticeably less money per box.
These drop right into standard 45 ACP workflow. Berry's reference specs put the bullet at a .638 inch overall length with a suggested cartridge OAL around 1.237 inches, though you'll want to confirm what feeds and chambers in your own gun. You can run cast or jacketed load data at the same grain weight and profile, and most handloaders stick to low-to-mid range charges for best results. Keep velocity under the 1,250 fps ceiling to protect the plating, which is an easy ask in a low-pressure cartridge like the 45 ACP. A taper or roll crimp both work fine, just don't overdo it, since heavy crimping can cut into the plating and cause separation.
The 350-count MiniCan is a convenient middle-ground quantity. It's enough to feed a few good range sessions or a match without committing to a bulk case, and the container keeps things organized on the loading bench. For practice, training, and all-day plinking with a 45, these are a dependable, budget-friendly way to keep the brass piling up.
Yes. Berry's states that cast or jacketed data at the same grain weight and profile will work with their Superior Plated bullets. Most handloaders run low-to-mid range jacketed or lead data for 230-grain 45 ACP and stay under the 1,250 fps max velocity to protect the plating. Always start low and work up carefully in your own firearm.
They are. The copper plating fully encapsulates the lead core, so there's no exposed lead on the bullet. That cuts down on airborne lead, which is why plated bullets are a popular pick for indoor range use. It also helps keep your bore cleaner than traditional cast lead.
Plated bullets like these start as a swaged lead core that's electroplated with copper to final weight, then re-struck for a uniform shape. Jacketed bullets use a thicker, mechanically formed copper jacket. Plated bullets generally cost less than jacketed, shoot cleaner than bare lead, and are meant for standard and lower-velocity loads rather than full-tilt magnum pressures.
The round nose profile is the classic 45 ACP ball shape, so it feeds and chambers reliably across a wide range of 45 platforms, including 1911s, Glock 21s, and pistol-caliber carbines. As always with any new load, confirm your cartridge overall length works in your specific magazines and barrel. A suggested starting point is around 1.237 inches, but check what runs best in your gun.
