The Berry’s Manufacturing Superior Plated 38/357 158 gr Flat Point bullet (Berry’s part no. 84525) is swaged and plated to final weight, then re-struck for accuracy and precision. Berry’s Superior line uses a thicker plate than its standard Preferred line, built for shooters who push higher velocities; the thicker plate on this bullet can handle loads up to 1,500 fps without the plating failing. Like Berry’s other plated bullets, it will not foul a barrel with bare lead the way an unplated cast bullet can, while staying more affordable than a jacketed bullet.
