If you reload .45 ACP or other .45 caliber handgun cartridges, Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets deliver a cost-effective, clean-shooting alternative to traditional lead-core jacketed rounds. These 230-grain round-nose bullets come in a 500-count box and are engineered for reloaders who want accuracy without the premium price tag or barrel fouling that can come with pure lead projectiles.
Berry's plated bullets start with a swaged core, then receive a copper plating that's applied to final weight. Each bullet is double-struck during manufacturing—a process that ensures consistency and dimensional accuracy from round to round. The .452-inch diameter and 230-grain weight are the standard specifications for full-power .45 ACP loads, and these bullets are designed to handle velocities up to 1250 fps, which covers most practical handgun applications from target shooting to defensive and hunting loads.
The round-nose profile is a classic choice for .45 caliber handguns, offering reliable feeding and a traditional ballistic shape. Because these are plated rather than full-jacketed, you get a cleaner burn and less barrel residue over time—a real advantage if you shoot frequently or reload in volume. Made in the USA, these bullets represent the kind of straightforward, honest reloading component that serious handloaders have trusted for years.
| Caliber | .45 Cal |
| Bullet Weight | 230 Grains |
| Diameter | .452 Inches |
| Profile | Round Nose (RN) |
| Count | 500 per box |
| Velocity Rating | Up to 1250 fps |
| Construction | Copper-plated, swaged, double-struck |
| Loaded Cartridge Length (COL) | 1.250 inches |
| Origin | Made in the USA |
Plated bullets have a thin copper coating bonded to a swaged lead core, while jacketed bullets have a thicker copper jacket. Plated rounds cost less to manufacture and shoot cleaner (less barrel fouling) than pure lead, but may not be suitable for the highest velocities. These Berry's bullets are rated for up to 1250 fps, which covers standard .45 ACP handgun loads.
Yes. The .452-inch diameter, 230-grain weight, and 1.250-inch COL are standard for .45 ACP. These specs match typical full-power .45 ACP loads used for target shooting, defensive carry, and hunting applications.
Each box contains 500 individual .45 caliber bullets ready for reloading. There is no powder, primers, or brass included—this is a bullet-only product.
Plated bullets produce significantly less barrel fouling than pure lead projectiles because the copper plating seals the lead core. This is one of the main advantages of plated ammunition for high-volume shooters and reloaders.
