    Loading plated bullets to +P jacketed data

    We will probably re-vamp some of the magnum revolver calibers this year to include a Thick Plate version.

    Lee FCD and Berry's 185g HBRN plated .45 bullets

    I do my best to follow the threads on quite a few forums, like to keep in touch with the hard core consumers of our products. I may not always chime in but try to keep in touch with what's in the topics.

    Why so few retail outlets for supplies?

    Back in the early 90's big mail order companies came on strong and had a direct impact on the ability of the small single store brick and mortar shops to compete. With the proliferation of the internet sales segment, it has made it very hard for them to compete. As a manufacturer we are...

    I just need to hire Walkalong so I can concentrate more on coming up with new products and working with my new pup on the chukar.

    Thanks for the pic's bds! That's a lot of help on showing how to use your barrel as a case gage.

    Lee FCD and Berry's 185g HBRN plated .45 bullets

    Our bullets have the same pressure curve as a cast bullet allowing us to go over .001" on the diameter without a pressure spike, this helps fill the lands and grooves = better performance and accuracy. All of our bullets go back into a carbide final size die after plating and are put through QC...

    Berry's plated 230 grain rn

    I appreciate all the positive input from this forum, we really try our very best to provide products that are a good value and work. The .45 185gr HBRN is one of my personal favorites for target and plinking of all our bullets. We've been shooting a lot of 9mm as of late and the new 124gr...

    Berry's plated 230 grain rn

    Nice pistol Walkalong, the 185gr HBRN are one of my favorite bullets and I use the very same load as I do for the 230gr RN. It is a nice target load for my Series 70 Gold Cup. As far as velocities for the .45 ACP, the only time I've seen issues is more geared to a super deep crimp and not...

    Ordering direct from Berry's Mfg

    Our website does state that we ship within a week, but we have a 92% same day fill rate as long as the order is placed before 1:00. That is a percentage from todays manager meeting for last week, we rarely dip below 90%. We try to under promise and over deliver, but if we do have a back order...

    40 s&w choices

    We make a lot of 165gr bullets for law enforcement contracts, but by far the 180gr bullet is the favored .40cal bullet

    Berry's Plated Hollow Point bullet

    Our 9mm FP and HP's have to be seated down deeper than what a lot of the data books state, I do my best to talk a new reloader out of those 9mm profiles until they have some loads under their belt so they can understand the how and why of loading.

    Berry's plated 9mm

    The FP's have to be seated a bit deeper than the RN's, I use 1.060"

    Stupid reloading question of the week: .40 S&W loads with Red Dot and Berry's 180

    Glad to see you got it working, we sell literally tons of bullets to Glock shooters.

    45 acp reload problems

    We've become spoiled to the fact that most of todays semi-auto's feed and function most everything. I can remember back when the 1911 was really the only platform we shot and had to have the feed ramp worked on, port lowered just so we could shoot other than a 230gr RN.
