Anyone use Berry Bullets for 10mm?

[Encore460Mag]

I picked up some berry bullets .401 165g Flat Point for my 10mm,had a heck of a time setting the seating die up for these,just wondering if anyone else has used them and how you like them?

I love them. The 165 grain bullet weight in the .40 S&W hits a good balance of power, recoil and accuracy. I also tried the 155 gr. but am going to stick with the 165's. It seems the accuracy peaks near the higher end of the powder charge specs. At least in a Beretta. I set them on top of Titegroup.

Make a dummy round and keep it in your die box to speed up the adjustment of your bullet seater die. Good Luck

Thanks for the info Leo I will try them out as soon as the snow melts...

For plated bullets and the 10mm I am partial to 180 gr, but the 165s work fine too.

which 10mm gun would you buy

 

[Rob377]

I've used them in the past, but they tend to come apart at real 10mm velocities.

Considering that you can get Zero or Precision delta 40/10mm bullets at about the same price, there's really no point.

I will check those bullets out next time but my LGS had these as far as bulk 250 so I picked them up to plink and a box of 180g xtp for everything else.

I also picked up Power Pistol for the charge loaded up about thirty rounds but have not had a chance to test them yet.

Power Pistol and HS-6 are my 10mm go-to powders. 800x is for playing around carefully at the high end.

ive run 1000s of em for .40.
nice bullets. they have some blemeshes in the copper jacket but function nicely.

i also had issues seating them at first. they seemed to bulge cases or otherwise insert weirdly. ended up belling a bit more and it solved my issues. Dillon 550B

Randygun,I picked up a colt delta elite two tone that was traded in at my lgs set up pretty nice wilson trigger,hammer,compensator,only had one mag with it so will have to find some of those,was my christmas present from wife and kids so will keep this for a long time,called colt with serial number date manf. was 1988 looks great but still have not got to fire it yet.I will probally pick up another in the 10 also glock or maybe a Rock Island tac that looks good in pics I have seen...

I noticed the same thing with the belling did seem to go better when I adjusted that.

keep adjusting. it should finally fit. like i said, i had a hell of a time but they fit, and worked fine.

have you measure the bullets themselves? some measurements and pics might help.

im using a dif bullet now but my press is set up the same as it was for the Berry ones. i can show you how much i bell if you like, im pressing .40 atm as it happens.

I had some and they were terrible. I would miss steel plates at 7 yards with every shot switch mags to a full one of hornady bullets and punch out the center of the plate with every shot. In my simple opinion, plated bullets are great for slow moving cartridges but a full power 10mm deserves a good bullet. I had bought something like 1000 of the berrys bullets for mine and it was just awful, lots of bluedot powder was wasted on those. Do whatever you want but I'd avoid them.

 

[Encore460Mag]

Thanks havok but I think I finally got it set up right,I loaded a few dummy rounds and the worked fine in the mag and chamber also cycled fine manually.I will probally just stick the 180xtps after I use these up.

Ran a bunch of 180's thru my Delta a while back. No problems.
