Have loaded 1000 rds for use in my LC Carbine and Thompson 1927A1. Feeds and fires perfectly in both with better than acceptable accuracy. My new go-to bullet for fun plinking.з>
My go to for reloading 7.62×39! Seem to be consistent and help keep the cost down. They work great in both my ak and sks.з>
I have been using berry’s 9/45/357/223. All performed with great results. Best value/quality for price. I recommend all their high quality bullets.з>
The 45 caliber bullet, specifically the Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) design, represents one of the most trusted pistol bullet configurations in firearms history. Originally developed by John Moses Browning, these bullets have earned their reputation through decades of reliable performance in law enforcement, self defense, and recreational shooting throughout the United States.
The substantial bullet diameter and impressive stopping power make 45 caliber bullets ideal for various applications. The ACP design accommodates diverse bullet weight options, from lighter grain bullet configurations achieving higher muzzle velocity to heavier projectile designs that maximize impact energy. This versatility extends beyond traditional pistol use to submachine gun applications, with bullets loaded in various ammo configurations for range use and demanding scenarios.
Berry’s superior copper-plated bullets deliver consistent performance for discerning shooters. Our high-quality manufacturing process ensures reliable expansion characteristics suitable for practice ammo loading and critical self defense applications.
The larger caliber handgun bullets provide inherent stopping power advantages, generating substantial energy transfer upon soft tissue impact when loaded in appropriate ammo. Available bullet weight options allow fine-tuning loads for specific needs, whether prioritizing higher fps for competition or optimizing standard pressure defensive configurations. Berry’s bullets maintain integrity under higher pressures, delivering trusted performance across various loading conditions for both professionals and enthusiasts.
Berry’s superior manufacturing process delivers consistent, high-quality results through four precise steps:
Step 1: Lead Core Formation – We create a precision-swaged pure lead core under controlled pressure, ensuring uniform density for optimal flight stability and performance.
Step 2: Copper Electroplating – Each lead core is submerged in copper sulfate solution, where electrical current bonds copper plating that eliminates lead exposure and reduces barrel fouling.
Step 3: Re-striking – Bullets pass through precision dies to achieve exact diameter, length, and profile specifications while strengthening the copper-to-lead bond.
Step 4: Quality Assessment – Every bullet undergoes rigorous inspection to verify it meets our standards for accuracy and reliability.
This proven process of over 60 years ensures that every Berry’s bullet, whether for target shooting or personal protection, delivers the reliable performance you expect at indoor ranges and beyond.
Our 45 caliber bullet collection comes in various forms, each designed for specific shooting applications. The most common types include:
ROUND NOSE
FLAT POINT
ROUND SHOULDER
SEMI WADCUTTER
Berry’s proprietary copper plating technology sets our bullets apart from conventional jacketed or cast alternatives. Our electroplating process creates a uniform copper shell that completely encases the pure lead core, eliminating lead exposure during handling and shooting.
This advanced plating provides multiple performance benefits. The copper surface reduces barrel fouling significantly compared to unplated bullets, extending shooting sessions and reducing cleaning frequency. The plating also enhances accuracy by maintaining consistent bullet dimensions and reducing deformation during feeding and firing.
Our copper bonding process ensures the plating remains intact under higher pressures, making these bullets suitable for a wide range of loading applications. Whether loading low power practice rounds or standard pressure defensive loads, the copper plating maintains its integrity and performance characteristics.
The environmental and health benefits of our plated bullets cannot be understated. By eliminating lead exposure, shooters can enjoy extended range sessions with reduced health concerns while contributing to cleaner shooting environments.
Choosing Berry’s bullets for your reloading projects ensures consistent performance and value. Our bullets are specifically designed for reloaders who demand reliability and accuracy in their handloaded ammunition. The consistent dimensions and quality control make load development predictable and successful.
We maintain an extensive inventory and efficient fulfillment processes to ensure you can maintain your shooting schedule without delays. Serious shooters and competitors need reliable supply chains, which is why we prioritize consistent availability.
The cost-effectiveness of Berry’s bullets allows you to shoot more while spending less. Compared to premium jacketed bullets, our copper-plated alternatives deliver comparable performance at significantly lower cost per round. This value proposition is especially important for high-volume shooters who require large quantities of bullets for regular practice.
Whether you’re loading for casual range use, competitive shooting, or self defense applications, Berry’s 45 caliber bullets provide the consistency and performance you need. Our commitment to quality manufacturing and customer satisfaction has made us the trusted choice for shooters across the United States and beyond.
Trust Berry’s for your next 45 caliber bullet purchase and experience the difference that superior manufacturing makes in your shooting performance.
