The Berry's 97080 Superior Pistol bullets deliver consistent accuracy and clean performance for 44 caliber handgun enthusiasts. These 240-grain flat point projectiles feature Berry's proven copper plating process that reduces barrel fouling while maintaining excellent terminal ballistics. Manufactured to exacting standards, each bullet provides reliable feeding and consistent velocities shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
Berry's Superior line uses a proprietary electroplating process that applies a uniform copper jacket over a precision-swaged lead core. This construction method eliminates the gas checks required by traditional cast bullets while providing superior accuracy compared to standard plated projectiles. The flat point profile creates a larger wound channel than round nose designs while maintaining feeding reliability in semi-automatic pistols. Each bullet undergoes quality control inspection to ensure dimensional consistency within 0.001 inches.
Key Features
- 240-grain flat point design optimized for 44 Special and 44 Magnum cartridges
- Electroplated copper construction reduces barrel leading by 90% compared to cast bullets
- Precision diameter of 0.429 inches ensures consistent chamber fit
- Flat point profile delivers enhanced terminal performance over round nose bullets
- Compatible with standard reloading dies and powder charges
- 200-count bulk packaging reduces per-round cost for high-volume shooters
- Recommended velocity range of 800-1,400 feet per second
These bullets excel in both target shooting and hunting applications where accuracy and consistent expansion matter most. The 240-grain weight provides excellent momentum retention at longer ranges while the flat point design creates reliable expansion in medium game. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent point of impact that results from Berry's tight manufacturing tolerances. The copper plating significantly extends barrel life compared to traditional lead bullets, making them cost-effective for regular practice sessions.
