The Berry's 84525 Superior Pistol bullets deliver consistent accuracy and clean performance for 38 Special and 357 Magnum reloaders. These 158-grain flat point projectiles feature Berry's signature copper plating process that reduces barrel fouling while maintaining excellent feeding characteristics.
What Makes This Different
Berry's Superior line uses a proprietary electroplating process that applies copper evenly across the entire bullet surface, unlike cheaper swaged bullets that can have inconsistent plating. The flat point design provides superior stopping power compared to round nose bullets while maintaining reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols. Each bullet undergoes quality control inspection to ensure diameter consistency within 0.001 inches.
Key Features
- 158-grain flat point design optimized for 38 Special and 357 Magnum loads
- Thick copper plating reduces lead fouling and extends barrel life
- Diameter held to +/- 0.001" tolerance for consistent accuracy
- Flat point profile delivers enhanced terminal performance

These bullets perform exceptionally well across multiple shooting disciplines, from IDPA competition to hunting applications. The 158-grain weight provides excellent momentum retention at extended ranges while the flat point design creates larger wound channels than traditional round nose bullets. The copper plating withstands high-velocity 357 Magnum loads without separation or leading.
