Berry s Manufacturing Preferred Plated Features The Berry s Preferred Plated bullet in .44 caliber uses a target hollow point profile that is similar in concept to a flat point design but cuts a cleaner hole through paper for easier more accurate scoring. Because the hollow point nose allows the overall bullet profile to run longer this design provides more contact area with the barrel and rifling which helps stabilize the bullet in flight and contributes to improved accuracy downrange. At .429 inch diameter and 240 grains this bullet suits both .44 Special loads with a cartridge overall length around 1.480 inches and .44 Magnum loads at roughly 1.580 inches giving reloaders flexibility across both cartridges. Berry s swages and plates these bullets to final weight and re-strikes them for accuracy and precision rather than casting and lubricating them as traditional lead bullets are made. This plated construction makes the bullet more affordable than a fully jacketed option while still protecting the bore from the fouling that bare lead bullets can cause at higher velocities. Berry s rates this bullet for use at velocities up to 1250 feet per second a range that covers typical .44 Special and moderate .44 Magnum practice loads. With more than five decades in business Berry s Manufacturing has built its reputation on producing exceptionally high quality plated bullets for reloaders who want consistent dependable components. Packaged in a 200 count box this bullet gives .44 caliber shooters an economical option for regular practice and target shooting sessions.
