Berry's Plated Bullets

leftsideshooter · October 7, 2009, 07:42 PM

Is there anyone that can help with load data for Berry's 180gr. hollow backed round nose or HBRN .45 ACP. I have been using Titegroup, WW231 or Bullseye for 230gr. round nose, but want try the 180gr.

Thank's, Paul

You might try asking in the Handloading Forum... Some of those guys don't venture up to these pages very often...

Visitor from Reloading forum here. I use that exact bullet (except its 185gr.) with 5.4gr of Titegoup. My .45 loves it.

Dave, what do you have for c.o.l. ? and approx. feet per second. Sorry I am wrong, it is 185gr.

Going from memory...1.26? Anyway, its the spec. for 230gr. FMJ. That bullet has the same profile as 230gr. The weight saving comes from the hollow base.

I have not shot this load over a chronograph, but I consider it a full power load.
