The Berry’s Preferred Plated .40 S&W/10mm 155gr hollow base pistol bullet (Berry’s part no. 54489) is a swaged and plated projectile built for handloaders who want jacketed-bullet accuracy without the cost or barrel fouling of a jacketed round. Berry’s plates each bullet to final weight and re-strikes it for precision, and the hollow base design lengthens the bullet profile for more contact area with the barrel and rifling, improving stabilization and accuracy. These bullets load with any published jacketed-bullet data at the same weight, making them a drop-in option for handloaders switching from traditional jacketed projectiles.
