Our copper-plated bullets start with a swaged lead core and are then electroplated with copper to their final weight, leaving no lead left exposed. After, they are re-stuck to precise specifications to ensure a solid bond and consistency across every round. Indoor range safe and incredibly accurate, Berry's Superior Plated Bullets® are the finest copper-jacketed bullets on the market.
.45 ACP Hollow Point Bullets
The 45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), also known as 45 Auto, was invented by John Browning back in 1904 for use in his Colt semi-automatic pistol. After some testing, it was adopted by the United States Army for use as their official sidearm. The military had noticed a lack of stopping power in their current ammunition calibers, so they had been looking for a suitable replacement. The 45 ACP became just that.
Nowadays, .45 ACP ammo is still a very popular caliber. Although the 9mm has replaced the 45 Auto as the go-to option for most military standard-issue pistols, some select law enforcement and military units around the world still prefer the 45 ACP. The round also continues to see use in high-caliber target shooting competitions. Perhaps the best use for hybrid hollow point bullets is for self defense or personal protection.
