Berry's 9mm .356 115 grain Hollow Base Round Nose Thick Plate bullets are a go-to component for anyone loading up a serious stash of 9mm. You get a swaged lead core that's fully electroplated in copper to final weight, then re-struck for tight, consistent dimensions round after round. That means no exposed lead, far less barrel fouling than bare cast, and performance that lands right between a plain lead bullet and a full jacketed projectile without the jacketed price tag.
The hollow base is the key design feature here. It lets Berry's stretch the bullet profile longer while keeping the weight at a true 115 grains, which gives more bearing surface riding the rifling. More contact with the lands means better stabilization and tighter groups on paper. The round nose ogive feeds smoothly out of double-stack magazines and runs well in pistol-caliber carbines too.
These carry a thick plate, so they're rated to handle velocities up to 1500 fps, which is a nice bump over standard plated bullets that top out closer to 1200. When you work up a load, use published jacketed or cast data at the same 115 grain weight and profile, since plated bullets sit between the two. The listed cartridge overall length runs around 1.130 inches with a bullet OAL near .574 inches, though you'll always want to confirm your own seating depth against your barrel and magazine.
This is the 1000 count bulk pack, so it's built for high-volume practice, range days, and drill work where you're burning through 9mm and want quality that doesn't eat up your budget. Berry's has been making plated bullets in the USA for decades, and this 115 grain classic is one of the most popular 9mm weights out there for good reason.
Use published load data for a 115 grain jacketed or cast bullet of the same profile, since plated bullets fall between the two. Berry's notes that even though the hollow base makes the bullet longer, the weight stays at 115 grains, so standard 115 gr data applies. Always start low and work up while checking your own cartridge overall length against your barrel and magazine.
The thick plate on this HBRN-TP is rated to handle velocities up to 1500 fps. That's a solid step above standard plated bullets, which are generally kept under about 1200 fps. It gives you headroom for warmer loads and for running them in pistol-caliber carbines.
The hollow base lets Berry's make the bullet profile longer without adding weight, keeping it at a true 115 grains. That extra length puts more bearing surface in contact with the rifling, which helps stabilize the bullet and tighten up your groups. It's a design aimed at squeezing more accuracy out of a plated component.
Yes. The full copper plating over the lead core means no exposed lead, so you get far less barrel fouling and less airborne lead than you'd see with bare cast bullets. They're a popular choice for indoor ranges for that reason, and they cost less than fully jacketed projectiles.
