Watch your crimp with Berry's plated bullets. Over-crimping is a known
cause of poor accuracy with soft lead plated bullets.

The only Berry's I still use is a 185 gr HBRN 45 bullet in my 45 ACP revolver
loads.

For everything else, I've gone to Moly coated lead (Bear Creek) or
jacketed (Precision Delta. Montana Gold).
