The Berry's 74030 Superior Pistol bullets deliver consistent accuracy and reliable performance for 9mm/.356 caliber handloads. These 147-grain round nose projectiles feature Berry's signature copper plating process that reduces barrel fouling while maintaining excellent feeding characteristics in semi-automatic pistols.
What Makes This Different
Berry's Superior line utilizes a proprietary copper plating process that creates a harder, more durable bullet surface compared to traditional lead projectiles. The thick copper plating eliminates lead exposure during handling and reduces barrel leading by up to 80%. The 147-grain weight provides subsonic velocities in most 9mm loads, making these bullets ideal for suppressed applications.
Key Features
- 147-grain weight optimized for subsonic 9mm loads
- Thick copper plating reduces barrel fouling and lead exposure
- Round nose profile ensures reliable feeding in all pistol actions
- Diameter sized to .356 inches for consistent chambering
- 250-count bulk packaging reduces cost per round
- Compatible with standard 9mm Luger, 9x19, and .380 ACP cases
- Swaged construction maintains consistent weight tolerance
These bullets perform exceptionally well across multiple shooting disciplines. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent velocities that improve accuracy in USPSA and IDPA matches. The subsonic characteristics make them popular for tactical training and home defense applications where noise reduction matters. Range shooters benefit from reduced cleanup time due to minimal barrel fouling.
