The Berry’s Superior Plated .45 ACP 230gr Hybrid Hollow Point Bullets, 500/ct (Berry’s part no. 00400) are swaged lead-core bullets electroplated with copper and re-struck to final weight for consistent, repeatable accuracy. Berry’s Manufacturing is a family-owned bullet maker with decades of experience turning out plated bullets for handloaders, and these .45 ACP 230 grain Hybrid Hollow Point projectiles are built to that same tight-tolerance standard. In the Superior line, the hollow-base design lets the bullet profile run longer than a solid-base plated bullet, adding contact surface with the barrel’s rifling for better stabilization and accuracy while holding the same weight. These are component bullets only, not loaded ammunition, so they load into your own .45 ACP handloads using published data for jacketed or lead cast bullets of the same weight. They are a solid choice for .45 ACP shooters loading high-volume range ammunition or steady practice rounds.
