Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets .38/357 cal .357" 158 gr FP 1000/ct

Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in .38/357 caliber offer serious shooters and reloaders a proven foundation for precision handloading. These 158-grain flat-point projectiles are engineered to tight tolerances and feature Berry's proprietary copper-plated construction, delivering consistent ballistics and reliable expansion characteristics that have made the brand a standard in competitive shooting, duty ammunition development, and high-volume training programs across law enforcement and military communities.

The .357" diameter and 158-grain weight represent a versatile intermediate offering within the .38/.357 Magnum platform, suitable for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum loading. The flat-point geometry provides controlled penetration and reduced over-pressure risk compared to round-nose designs, while the copper plating minimizes lead exposure and barrel fouling—critical considerations during extended range sessions or high-round-count training days. Each 1,000-count bulk package (shipped at 22.92 lbs) reduces per-round cost while maintaining Berry's five-decade reputation for dimensional consistency and uniform weight—essential variables for match-grade reloading and law enforcement ammunition development.

Reloaders building .38 Special for snub-nose revolvers, backup duty weapons, or .357 Magnum full-power loads will find these bullets accommodate a wide range of powder charges and primers without performance variation. The plated construction provides the cleanliness benefits of jacketed ammunition at a fraction of the cost, making high-volume practice and testing of load development feasible. This product is ideal for law enforcement armorer programs, competitive shooters preparing practice ammunition, and serious handloaders who demand predictable ballistics without compromise on consistency or safety margins.
