If you're loading .38 Special or .357 Magnum ammunition, Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in 158-grain flat point offer a straightforward, cost-effective way to build reliable handloads for target shooting, practice, or self-defense. A thousand bullets per box means you can stock up for serious range time without breaking the bank or constantly reordering. These plated bullets have been the backbone of handloaders' benches for decades—not flashy, just consistent and dependable.
Plating makes these bullets easier on your barrel and equipment than bare lead while keeping costs down compared to jacketed options. The 158-grain flat point is a proven weight and profile for both the milder .38 Special and the hotter .357 Magnum, giving you flexibility to load for whichever you're shooting that day. Whether you're working up loads for a snub-nose revolver, a service-size wheel gun, or a lever-action carbine chambered in .357, these bullets deliver consistent results at the bench and downrange.
Berry's Manufacturing has spent over fifty years perfecting their craft as a family-owned operation, and their Preferred line reflects that track record. The plated construction ensures uniform diameter and weight tolerance, which translates to tighter groups and more predictable ballistics—the kind of boring reliability that makes you forget you're shooting handloads. With a thousand rounds in a box, you're looking at serious volume for developing loads or putting rounds downrange without the premium of boutique ammunition.
| Caliber | .38/357 (9mm/.357") |
| Weight | 158 grains |
| Bullet Style | Flat Point (FP) |
| Diameter | .357" |
| Count | 1,000 per box |
| Manufacturer | Berry's Manufacturing |
Yes. The .357" diameter works in both cartridges. You'll simply load them to different powder charges and velocities depending on which you're shooting—lighter for .38 Special, heavier for .357 Magnum.
Plated bullets offer a middle ground: they're gentler on your barrel and equipment than bare lead, keeping fouling and wear down, while costing less than full-jacket construction. They're ideal for practice and general shooting where maximum precision isn't the priority.
The 158-grain flat point is a classic weight for .357 Magnum and works well across a broad range of powders and velocities. Check published load data for your specific powder and primers to confirm safe loads for your firearm.
One thousand bullets per box, which gives you substantial volume for developing loads or extended range sessions.
