Berry’s 44 Cal 240gr Target Hollow Point

Berry’s 44 Cal 240gr Target Hollow Point is a plated bullet component crafted for handloaders seeking consistent accuracy and clean shooting in both .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges. Designed specifically for range use and high-volume reloading, this 240-grain hollow point projectile offers balanced performance and smooth cycling without excessive expansion. Sold as a component only—not factory-loaded ammunition—it is ideal for practice, competition, and recreational shooting across revolver and carbine platforms.

This bullet features a swaged lead core fully electroplated in copper and finished with a re-strike process to ensure uniform weight and diameter. Measuring .429″ in diameter and .692″ in bullet overall length, it is designed to seat in .44 Special cartridges at approximately 1.460″ OAL and in .44 Magnum cartridges at approximately 1.610″ OAL. Its full copper plating eliminates lead exposure, making it suitable for indoor ranges and reducing bore fouling during extended sessions.

The Target Hollow Point design incorporates a controlled frontal cavity and stable ogive profile to ensure reliable feeding and predictable accuracy without over-penetration. While it features a hollow point, the design emphasizes scoring consistency and target engagement rather than terminal expansion, making it a preferred choice for range drills and paper punching. It performs reliably in double-action revolvers, lever-action rifles, and compatible carbines chambered in .44 caliber.

Berry’s rates the 44 Cal 240gr Target Hollow Point for use up to 1,850 feet per second. Staying within this velocity range preserves the integrity of the copper plating and ensures optimal performance. A light taper or roll crimp may be used during seating, though care should be taken not to over-crimp, as this can compromise the plated surface or disrupt bullet geometry. Load data for 240gr jacketed or plated hollow points may be referenced during load development.

Berry’s 44 Cal 240gr Target Hollow Point offers reloaders a dependable and clean-shooting bullet option for both .44 Special and .44 Magnum applications. Its plated construction supports range safety and maintenance, while the consistent geometry delivers the precision needed for effective practice and scoring. Whether training with revolvers or lever-action rifles, this bullet is built to deliver cost-effective accuracy with every shot.
