Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in .38/357 caliber offer handloaders a reliable, affordable foundation for consistent target and practice loads. These 148-grain semi-wadcutter hollow cavity (DEWC) bullets are plated rather than cast, giving you smoother feeding, easier sizing, and reduced barrel leading compared to cast alternatives—without the premium cost of jacketed rounds. If you're working up loads for .38 Special or .357 Magnum, or you shoot revolvers regularly enough that component cost matters, plated bullets from a manufacturer with five decades of experience make sense.
Berry's has built its reputation on quality control and consistency. Each bullet is manufactured to precise diameter specifications, so they'll chamber reliably and group predictably once you've dialed in your load. The 148-grain DEWC profile is a classic for wadcutter accuracy work and moderate velocity loads—it's not a hunting or self-defense round, but for indoor range time, bullseye practice, or load development, it performs. A thousand-round bulk pack means you've got enough to work through multiple test loads without re-ordering mid-project.
These are components, not loaded ammunition, so you'll need a press, dies, powder, primers, and scales to use them. That's a given for serious reloaders, but it's worth noting if you're new to handloading. The plating means you can push these a bit harder than cast without copper fouling issues, though always work up your loads from published minimums and chronograph as you go.
| Caliber | .38/.357 |

Yes. The .357" diameter works in both cartridges. The 148-grain DEWC is commonly loaded for .38 Special at moderate velocities and .357 Magnum at full power, though always consult published reloading data for your specific load and powder combination.
Plated bullets have a thin copper coating over a lead core, offering cleaner burning, less barrel fouling, and more reliable feeding than cast bullets, while staying more affordable than full-jacketed rounds. They're ideal for range practice and load development.
These are components—bullets only. You'll need a reloading press, dies, powder, primers, and brass to assemble complete cartridges.
The 148-grain DEWC profile is designed for target and practice use. It's not recommended for hunting or self-defense applications.
