Berry's Bullets
Has anyone used them? Any good? I'd like to hear some opinions before I buy any. .45 ACP is what i'm loading. Sinclair Int'l has them listed in their catalog.
Thanks,

Most have tried them. They are fine plated bullets. Not generally as accurate as jacketed.
Check Xtreme plated bullets also for price comparison.

I've not tried them, at least not yet. I use Rainier, with decent results, both in .40 and .357

I know folks who swear by them, so a trial is in my future.

Used them often. Very good bullet for target shooting and reasonably priced.

I have been loading them in my Glock 23 .40 and they shoot great for plinking loads. At 15yds they will shoot a magazine full in a group about the size of a quarter. I have worked up a load that shoots very well in a couple of my 45's as well.

I've been loading them for my 9mm plinking loads. Cheaper than buying ammo and gives me plenty of opportunity to get introduced to pistol reloading and shooting the semi-autos.

I load them in my 45 ACP and 9MM. Work for me!

I've shot a lot of them with no complaints. In the end, I can't really see the difference between the three plated companies.

Don't push the velocity .... keep them in the low to moderate ranges they have a tendency to do strange things if pushed too fast..

I'm a little late to the party, but I use Berry's light .45 rifle bullets in front of 59.0 grains of three different medium burn rate smokeless powders in my .45-70 lever rifles. One big ragged hole at 75 yards and no barrel leading. Plenty good enough for me.
