Berry's Superior Plated Handgun Bullets in .38/.357 caliber deliver cost-effective, lead-free ammunition for shooters who demand precision without breaking budget. These 158-grain full metal jacket truncated cone (FJMTC) rounds are swaged and plated to exact weight specifications, then re-struck for tighter tolerance and consistency shot after shot. The superior thick nickel plating eliminates barrel fouling that plague cast lead alternatives, keeping your firearm cleaner and extending service intervals on duty weapons and training platforms alike.
Each round is engineered to handle velocities up to 1500 fps, making it suitable for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum platforms. The 158-grain weight in the .357" diameter delivers the ballistic profile law enforcement and competition shooters expect: controlled expansion characteristics in defensive scenarios, stable flight for target work, and manageable recoil impulse. SAAMI compliance ensures safe operation—maximum cartridge overall length is 1.590" for .357 Magnum and 1.550" for .38 Special. The 250-round count (five 50-round boxes) is packaged for accessibility without excessive bulk, ideal for duty rotation restocking and training cycles.
These plated rounds serve duty firearms, firearms training programs, and competitive revolver shooters who reload or purchase factory ammunition. The lead-free construction meets range requirements at indoor and outdoor facilities with strict environmental protocols. For operators managing ammunition costs across high-round-count training, and for shooters seeking reliable, barrel-friendly rounds without the premium price of traditional jacketed ammunition, Berry's Superior Plated bullets represent the bridge between budget and performance.
At 5 lbs per box, this quantity is standard for serious shooters planning dedicated training sessions or maintaining duty ammunition reserves. The compact packaging (3.75" × 2.5" × 5.5") fits standard ammunition storage and transport configurations.
