The Berry’s Superior Plated .40 S&W/10mm 155gr Hollow Base Round Nose bullet is a hollow-base plated component bullet from Berrys Manufacturing (brand part no. 52222), swaged and plated to final weight, then re-struck for accuracy and precision. It’s more affordable than a jacketed round and won’t foul a barrel with bare lead. The hollow-base design lets the bullet profile run longer without adding weight, which gives more contact area with the barrel and rifling to stabilize the bullet and improve accuracy. Because the weight stays the same as a standard-profile bullet, it can be loaded using any published load data for a jacketed bullet of the same weight.
