Berry’s 44 Cal 240gr Flat Point

Berry’s 44 Cal 240gr Flat Point is a plated bullet component designed for handloaders who demand consistent performance and accuracy in .44 Special and .44 Magnum ammunition. With a classic flat point (FP) profile, this 240-grain projectile delivers reliable feeding, stable trajectory, and dependable energy transfer, making it ideal for range work, hunting practice, or general recreational shooting. This product is sold as a bullet component only and is not factory-loaded ammunition.

The bullet is constructed from a swaged lead core fully electroplated in copper to final weight, followed by a precision re-strike that ensures uniformity in shape and diameter. Measuring .429″ in diameter and .659″ in bullet overall length, it is designed to seat in .44 Special cartridges at a cartridge overall length of approximately 1.450″, and in .44 Magnum rounds at around 1.575″. The fully encapsulated design eliminates exposed lead, supporting clean shooting and compatibility with indoor range requirements.

The flat point geometry of this bullet promotes predictable impact behavior and enhanced accuracy at typical handgun and carbine distances. The broad meplat (flat nose) ensures consistent energy transfer on steel and paper targets and is compatible with both tubular magazines and revolver cylinders. Its reliable cycling in lever-action rifles and revolvers makes it a versatile choice for various shooting disciplines.

Berry’s specifies a maximum velocity of 1,850 feet per second for this bullet to maintain plating integrity and prevent core separation. Load data for similar 240gr jacketed or plated flat point bullets may be used, with either taper or roll crimping recommended. Care should be taken to avoid over-crimping, which can damage the copper plating and impair performance.

Berry’s 44 Cal 240gr Flat Point offers reloaders a durable, accurate, and clean-shooting solution for high-volume .44 caliber applications. Whether training, target shooting, or preparing hunting loads, this bullet component delivers the consistent performance and easy loading characteristics handloaders require for reliable .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridge builds.
