Berry's 158gr flat point plated bullets hit the sweet spot for anyone running a .38 Special or .357 Magnum wheelgun. These are the classic 158 grain weight that revolver folks have trusted for decades, and the full copper plating means you get the clean-shooting benefits of a jacketed bullet without the jacketed price tag. They measure .357" in diameter with a flat point nose that feeds smoothly through a cylinder and also plays nice with appropriately chambered lever-action tube magazines.
Each bullet starts as a swaged lead core that gets electroplated with copper all the way around to its final weight, which fully encloses the lead with no exposure. From there, the projectiles are re-struck, or double-struck, back to exact dimensions so every one comes out the same size and shape. That extra sizing pass is a big part of why these shoot consistently and keep your barrel, forcing cone, and cylinder throats free of the lead buildup you'd fight with plain cast bullets.
Plated bullets like these sit right between cast lead and full jacketed, so reloaders generally have good luck starting with mid-range jacketed data or hard cast data and working up. Berry's lists a max velocity of 1,250 fps on this projectile, which covers just about any .38 Special load and the mid-range .357 Magnum loads most people shoot for practice. The one thing worth repeating is to go easy on the crimp. A firm taper or roll crimp is all you need, since biting too deep can cut through the thin plating.
These are a go-to for high-volume target shooting, bullseye and action revolver matches, and plain old plinking where you want a clean, accurate bullet that won't break the bank. Berry's has been building plated bullets in Utah since 1961, and this 158 grain flat point is one of their most popular revolver offerings for good reason.
These are bullets, or projectiles, only. They are reloading components meant for handloaders to seat into their own cases with primer and powder. You'll need brass, primers, and powder to assemble finished rounds.
Since plated bullets fall between cast lead and full jacketed, most reloaders start with mid-range jacketed data or hard cast data and work up carefully. Keep your velocity at or below the 1,250 fps max Berry's lists for this bullet. Always cross-check with a current reloading manual and start low.
Yes. At .357" diameter and 158 grains, this bullet is a classic fit for both the .38 Special and .357 Magnum. The flat point profile also feeds reliably in appropriately chambered lever-action rifles with tube magazines.
The main thing is to avoid over-crimping. A standard taper or roll crimp works great, but crimping too hard can cut through the thin copper plating and hurt accuracy. A light, firm crimp is all these need.
