Berry's 158-grain flat point is one of the most popular projectiles you can load for a revolver, and for good reason. It splits the difference between cheap cast lead and pricey jacketed bullets, giving you clean-burning range fodder without the leading headaches that come from running soft cast through a .357. Each bullet starts as a swaged lead core that gets electroplated with copper to its final weight, then re-struck in a sizing die to lock in a true .357 diameter. That double-struck step is what keeps them uniform from one bullet to the next, which translates to tighter, more predictable groups downrange.
The flat point profile does double duty. It feeds reliably through lever guns chambered in .357 Magnum and runs flawlessly in both single and double action revolvers. Since the copper fully encases the lead core, there's no exposed lead, so these are friendly for indoor ranges and leave your bore a whole lot cleaner at the end of the session. You get 1,000 bullets in this box, which is plenty to work up a load and still have a stack left for practice.
Berry's doesn't publish bullet-specific data, so the standard approach is to use published jacketed or cast data for a 158-grain bullet of the same profile and keep your velocity within the bullet's rating. Reloaders have had the best luck sticking to low to mid-range jacketed data. Because plated bullets don't have a crimp groove, go light on the crimp so you don't cut through the plating. A taper or a light roll crimp both work fine.
Berry's has been turning out plated bullets in the USA for over six decades, and the .38/.357 158-grain flat point is a staple for anyone shooting wheel guns regularly. Whether you're punching paper, running steel, or just burning through a Saturday at the range, these deliver the same result round after round.
Berry's doesn't publish data specific to their plated bullets, so you use published jacketed or cast data for a 158-grain bullet of the same profile. Most reloaders get the best results sticking to low to mid-range jacketed data and keeping velocity within the bullet's rating. Any reloading manual or powder manufacturer's website will have suitable data to start from.
Yes. The 158-grain flat point is a standard weight and shape for both cartridges, and the .357 diameter works across the board. You just adjust your powder charge and cartridge overall length to match whichever case you're loading.
Plated bullets sit between cast lead and jacketed in both price and performance. The copper plating fully covers the lead core, so they foul the barrel far less than cast bullets and leave no exposed lead, which makes them a solid pick for indoor ranges. Many reloaders prefer them for cleaner shooting and easier cleanup.
Plated bullets don't have a crimp groove, so a light touch matters. Use a taper crimp or a light roll crimp and avoid over-crimping, since cutting into the thin copper plating can hurt accuracy and performance.
