Berry’s 9mm 124gr RN

Berry’s 9mm 124gr RN is a plated bullet component engineered for handloaders assembling consistent and clean-firing 9mm Luger cartridges. With its round nose (RN) profile and midweight 124-grain design, this bullet supports a wide range of shooting disciplines including target practice, training, and recreational use. It is sold as a bullet component only—not factory-loaded ammunition—and is compatible with a variety of semi-automatic pistols and pistol-caliber carbines.

Each bullet features a swaged lead core that is fully encased in electroplated copper. A final re-strike process ensures tight tolerances in diameter, weight, and shape. Measuring .355″ in diameter and .585″ in bullet overall length, this projectile is optimized for 9mm cartridges seated to approximately 1.160″ overall length. The full plating eliminates exposed lead, making it suitable for use in indoor ranges while minimizing barrel fouling during extended sessions.

The RN geometry is designed for smooth feeding and reliable chambering in all standard 9mm firearms. Its balanced 124gr weight performs well in both compact and full-size handguns, as well as AR-9 platforms and other PCCs. The projectile is compatible with common barrel twist rates from 1-in-10″ to 1-in-16″, delivering consistent ballistic performance across platforms.

Berry’s recommends keeping velocities below 1,250 fps to preserve the integrity of the copper plating. Standard taper crimping is suggested to secure the bullet during seating, and reloaders should use load data for comparable 124gr plated or jacketed RN bullets. Over-crimping should be avoided to prevent distortion or separation of the plated layer.

Berry’s 9mm 124gr RN is a versatile and economical choice for reloaders looking to produce clean, accurate 9mm rounds. Its plated construction and smooth profile provide reliable cycling and performance, making it ideal for structured range sessions, competition prep, or everyday shooting. Whether loading for training or recreation, this bullet delivers the consistency handloaders demand.
