Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets .40 cal/10mm .401" 180 gr Target HP 250/ct

Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in .40 caliber and 10mm are precision-swaged, electroplated rounds engineered for shooters who demand accuracy without lead barrel fouling. The 180-grain target hollow point profile delivers consistent performance across both cartridges, making this 250-round count pack ideal for serious handloaders, competitive shooters, and those conducting high-volume range training.

Each bullet is swaged to final weight and re-struck for dimensional consistency—a critical factor for precision shooting. The target hollow point design cuts clean holes through paper targets while the longer nose profile maximizes contact with barrel rifling, improving rotational stability and shot-to-shot grouping. The .40 caliber rounds feature a 1.135" cartridge overall length, while 10mm variants load to 1.2" COL, accommodating standard magazine and chamber specifications. The electroplated copper jacket eliminates lead contamination that degrades barrel condition over high-round-count sessions, addressing a key maintenance concern for shooters running substantial ammunition volumes.

This ammunition is suited for precision pistol competitors, law enforcement qualification courses, and handloaders seeking cost-effective plated alternatives to full-jacketed rounds. The 180-grain weight in .40 caliber and 10mm provides moderate recoil impulse while maintaining velocity sufficient for target work and function testing. The 250-count package provides practical value for frequent shooters without requiring bulk-case purchases.

Berry's plated bullets occupy a distinct position in the ammunition supply chain—more affordable than jacketed options, cleaner-burning than cast lead, and compatible with standard loading equipment. Shooters transitioning from commercial ammunition or seeking handload consistency will find these rounds dimensionally reliable and designed for precision applications rather than duty-cycle performance.
