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>

These do create a slightly visible ‘belt’ in the case, being .356 diameter, but perform just like the Speer 147g HP, at a fraction of the cost for training. No issues with feeding/cycling in my finicky PSA 8″ Shockwave when…з>
About 9×18 Makarov Bullets
The 9×18 Makarov bullet emerged from the Eastern Bloc as a cornerstone of military and law enforcement applications. This larger diameter bullet design provides excellent shot placement capabilities while managing felt recoil. The 9×18 Makarov has continued to be a popular round for self defense purposes considering that it is lightweight, easy to conceal, and reliable. The 9×18 Makarov has also found its place among recreational shooters, particularly in indoor range settings. Its moderate velocity and manageable recoil make it an ideal choice for first-time shooters and experienced enthusiasts alike.
Our Bullet-Making Process
At Berry’s, we’ve perfected our manufacturing process to create superior bullets for your Makarov pistol through four essential steps:
- Swaged Core Formation: Our process begins with creating a perfectly dense lead core using advanced swaging techniques. This critical first step ensures optimal weight distribution and flight stability for your 9×18 Makarov loads.
- Precision Electroplating: Each core undergoes our signature electroplating process, where we apply a precise copper coating that eliminates lead exposure. This creates the foundation for smooth feeding through your Makarov’s feed ramp.
- Re-Strike Technology: Our bullets then move to the re-striking phase, where we achieve exact bullet diameter and specifications. This process reinforces the copper-core bond and ensures consistent performance in your Makarov barrel.
Quality Inspection: Before packaging, every bullet undergoes detailed inspection for weight, diameter, and finish quality. This final step guarantees that whether you’re loading for target practice or competitive shooting, you’ll get reliable performance through your barrel, round after round.
