Berry's Preferred Plated .45 Long Colt 250gr FP

Berry's Preferred Plated .45 Long Colt Bullets

Berry's Preferred Plated bullets represent a practical middle ground between pure lead and traditional jacketed ammunition. These .45 Long Colt projectiles are manufactured using a proven swaging process followed by copper plating and resizing—a technique Berry's calls "Double-Struck."

Key Features

• 250-grain flat point design optimized for .45 Long Colt applications
• Copper plating eliminates barrel leading while maintaining affordability
• Accurate and consistent performance across reloading applications
• Velocity rated to 1250 fps for safe, predictable ballistics
• 200 bullets per box for convenient reloading sessions

Loading Guidance

Berry's does not publish proprietary load data. However, you can safely use any published load data for jacketed or lead bullets of the same weight. This flexibility makes these bullets compatible with most established reloading manuals and online resources.

The Practical Advantage

For handloaders seeking economical practice ammunition or hunting loads without the mess of lead fouling, these plated bullets offer genuine value. The copper plating provides the cleanliness benefits of jacketed rounds at a fraction of the cost, making high-volume shooting more accessible.
