Berry’s 40 Cal 155gr FP

Berry’s 40 Cal 155gr FP is a plated bullet component built for handloaders developing accurate and consistent ammunition for both .40 S&W and 10mm Auto platforms. Featuring a flat point (FP) profile and plated construction, this 155-grain bullet is ideal for high-volume target practice, recreational shooting, and competitive drills. This product is sold as a bullet component only and is not loaded ammunition.

Berry’s 40 Cal 155gr FP bullet is constructed from a swaged lead core that is electroplated in copper and re-struck to exacting specifications. The result is a fully encapsulated projectile with a diameter of .400″ and a bullet overall length of .525″. This FP design is intended for use in .40 S&W cartridges loaded to an overall length of approximately 1.125″, and in 10mm Auto rounds seated to around 1.260″. Its copper plating eliminates exposed lead and supports cleaner indoor-range performance with reduced fouling and maintenance.

The flat point profile offers a broad meplat for consistent impact on steel and paper targets while maintaining reliable feeding in most semi-automatic pistols. Its balanced 155gr weight provides controllable recoil and efficient energy transfer, making it a suitable option for shooters prioritizing accuracy without excessive muzzle rise or fatigue during extended sessions.

Berry’s recommends a maximum velocity of 1,250 feet per second for this bullet. Adhering to this threshold protects the plated jacket from damage and supports optimal ballistic performance. Reloaders may use published load data for similar 155gr plated or jacketed flat point bullets. A light taper or roll crimp is acceptable, but care should be taken to avoid over-crimping, which can damage the plating and affect bullet seating.

Berry’s 40 Cal 155gr FP offers reloaders a clean, reliable, and cost-effective option for building .40 S&W and 10mm ammunition. Its consistent construction, smooth-feeding design, and compatibility with a variety of firearms make it a dependable choice for practice rounds, skill-building, and routine range use.
