Berry s Manufacturing Preferred Plated Features Berry s Preferred Plated Bullets are manufactured by swaging a lead core to the target weight then electroplating the surface with copper before double-struck re-sizing locks in precise consistent dimensions. This plating process creates a bullet that performs similarly to a jacketed projectile without the expense of true copper jacketing while also preventing the barrel leading that can occur with bare lead bullets. Because Berry s bullets are plated rather than true jacketed any published load data for a jacketed or lead bullet of the same weight can be used as a reference simplifying load development. These bullets are rated for velocities up to 1250 feet per second matching the published velocity for this load. This 250 grain flat point bullet measures .452 inch in diameter sized for .45 Long Colt and other .45 caliber reloading applications. The flat point profile is a traditional choice for revolver and lever action cartridges feeding reliably while still delivering solid terminal performance at traditional cowboy action and target velocities. Packaged 200 to a box this quantity suits reloaders who shoot regularly and want to minimize trips back to the bench for more components. Berry s has built a reputation spanning over 60 years for consistent reliable plated bullets and this .45 Long Colt option is available for sale at GrabAGun.
