Berry's Superior Plated Handgun Bullets in .38/.357 caliber offer a practical, lead-free alternative for shooters who reload .38 Special or .357 Magnum. Each 158-grain flat-point bullet comes plated rather than jacketed, which means you get the cleanliness and barrel protection of a jacketed round at a lower cost per round. The 1000-count box makes these ideal for serious handloaders who shoot regularly at the range or in competition.
What sets these .357 handgun bullets apart is their thick copper plating and precision manufacturing. Berry's swages each bullet to final weight, then re-strikes it to ensure concentricity and consistent feeding. That attention to detail matters whether you're loading for accuracy or volume. The thick plate is engineered to handle higher velocities—up to 1500 fps—without separation or fouling, so you're not limited to light target loads if you want to push them harder.
Whether you're a .38 Special target shooter, a .357 Magnum hunter, or someone splitting the difference with mid-range loads, these bullets give you flexibility. The flat-point profile is well-suited to lever guns and modern handguns alike. At 1000 rounds per box, you've got enough to sight in, practice, and still have plenty left for serious shooting—without the lead dust cleanup that comes with cast bullets.
| Caliber | .38/.357 |
| Bullet Weight | 158 grains |
| Bullet Style | Flat-Point (FPTP) |
| Diameter | .357 inch |
| Count per Box | 1000 |
| Maximum Velocity Rating | Up to 1500 fps |
| SAAMI Maximum COL .38 Spl | 1.550 inch |
| SAAMI Maximum COL .357 Mag | 1.590 inch |
Berry's Superior Plated Bullets are rated for velocities up to 1500 fps, which covers most standard .38 Special and .357 Magnum loads. Always check load data for your specific powders and primers, and start at the minimum charge weight and work up safely.
No. The copper plating prevents direct contact between the bullet core and your bore, so you won't experience the lead buildup that comes with cast bullets. Cleanup is straightforward, and you avoid the health concerns associated with lead dust.
Yes. The .357" diameter fits both cartridges. The SAAMI maximum overall length (COL) differs—1.550" for .38 Special and 1.590" for .357 Magnum—so seat to the appropriate length for your intended load.
Flat-point (FPTP) bullets have a flat face instead of a rounded or hollow-point tip. This profile is commonly used in lever-action rifles and certain handguns for reliable feeding and is well-suited to hunting and general shooting.
