These are great in both my Russian SKS and my Canadian Enfield No4Mk1*. Have found that Alliant 2400 (14 grs and 16 grs respectively) works great in both cartridges.з>
I started out using the 1250 fps rated bullet and fired hundreds of rounds from my 1911 & SA-35s. I upgraded to the thick plate when I bought a PCC. The accuracy and fun factors are above reproach. Thousands of…з>
Loaded up my first batch of these 185 grn FN and really like them. They feed just fine in all my guns and have amazing accuracy, ragged holes at 7 & 15 yds. Only reloading note, I had to seat…з>
The .45 ACP bullet, originally developed by John Moses Browning for the Automatic Colt Pistol in 1904, remains one of the most trusted caliber pistol designs in firearms history. .45 ACP bullets have earned their reputation through more than a century of service in U.S. military, law enforcement, and civilian shooting.
The substantial bullet diameter at .452 inches and the heavier bullet weight options give .45 caliber bullets strong terminal performance with deep wound channel potential on soft tissue. Standard Berry’s .45 ACP bullet weights span 185, 200, and 230 grain across round nose, flat point, hollow point, semi wad cutter, and round shoulder profiles. The .45 ACP bullet also has a long submachine gun history, chambered in the Thompson and other early SMG platforms for decades of military and law enforcement service.
The .45 ACP suits shooters who prefer a larger projectile, a heavier bullet weight, and a manageable recoil impulse in heavier full-size pistols. The .45 ACP runs at standard pressure, which can produce less sharp muzzle blast than higher-pressure calibers. Slower velocity and a heavier projectile mean a slower, push-like recoil that many shooters find easier to manage in a 1911 platform. The .45 ACP bullet also feeds in carbine and pistol-caliber rifle platforms for shooters who want shared ammunition between a 1911 and a long gun.

Berry’s bullets are designed for reloaders who want jacketed bullet performance at copper-plated prices. Compared to a jacketed bullet, Berry’s plated alternatives deliver comparable accuracy at significantly lower cost per bullet. Compared to a cast bullet or lead bullets, the copper plating reduces fouling and lead exposure during high-volume range sessions.
Consistent dimensions across every production run make load development predictable. Reloaders save time on case prep and powder workups because each .45 ACP bullet drops into the seating die the same way.
Berry’s plated bullets are not FMJ bullets, but they perform similarly in feeding and accuracy at a lower cost. Every unique piece of brass on the bench loads consistently with Berry’s bullets because each one drops into the seating die with the same dimensions. Manufacturing in the United States since the 1960s, Berry’s serves reloaders for casual range use, competitive shooting, and self-defense practice loads with consistent supply and fair pricing. Thanks for trusting Berry’s for your .45 ACP reloading needs.
