Berry's Superior Plated Handgun Bullets .40 S&W/10mm .401" 165 gr HBFPTP 250/ct

Berry's Superior Plated Handgun Bullets in .40 S&W/10mm .401" 165 grain HBFPTP deliver consistent, cost-effective ammunition for handloaders and shooters seeking precision without the lead fouling associated with cast or bare lead projectiles. Each box contains 250 rounds, making this 250-count quantity ideal for high-volume practice, competition prep, or stockpiling reliable components for duty or recreational shooting.

The 165-grain weight in .40 S&W and 10mm caliber offers a balanced ballistic profile—moderate recoil impulse with effective terminal performance across common duty and self-defense loads. Berry's Superior Plated construction uses electroplated copper coating over a lead core, swaged and re-struck to final weight for dimensional consistency and uniform chamber fit. The hollow base design extends the bullet profile, increasing contact area with barrel rifling for improved stabilization and tighter shot groups. This geometry also allows reloaders to work with longer overall lengths without sacrificing case capacity, a practical advantage when tuning for specific firearms or load development.

Shooters reloading .40 S&W or 10mm ammunition benefit from plated bullets' affordability compared to jacketed options, combined with cleaner barrel performance and reduced fouling. The 165-grain HBFPTP bullet works across both calibers—a practical advantage for shooters transitioning between platforms or maintaining dual-caliber inventories. Suitable for range training, practice drills, competition handgun events, and recreational marksmanship where consistent performance and minimal lead exposure are priorities.
