The Berry’s Preferred Plated Bullets in .45 caliber (brand part no. 61052) are some of the finest bonded, copper-jacketed bullets available, built to a 185-grain flat point profile. Starting with a swaged lead core, Berry’s electroplates each bullet with copper to its final weight, leaving no lead exposure, then re-strikes it to precise specifications for a solid bond and consistency with every round loaded. Indoor-range safe and built for accuracy, the Preferred Plated line gives .45-caliber handloaders a dependable, cost-conscious alternative to traditional jacketed bullets for practice, training, and general-purpose reloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this loaded ammunition? No, this is a component bullet only — it must be seated into a case with powder and a primer to become a complete cartridge.

What makes this bullet indoor-range safe? The copper plating fully covers the lead core, leaving no exposed lead, which is why plated bullets like this are commonly accepted at indoor ranges.
