How do Berry's Bullets compare to Rainier and other plated bullets

[danman00]

Same here I used to reload a lot of plated bullets until I found Bayou Bullets and I haven't looked back.

There is no lead fouling and they are clean. Also a green bullet looks really cool.

I have to agree. Save your money and by coated, BBI, Blue Bullets, Bayou, Falcon, etc.. They shoot just as accurate as copper plated for less $$$. At least for me anyway.

I cast my own now, but was very pleased with Berry's 230RN in my 1911. I've had some accuracy issues with their 115gr 9mm bullet, but that may have related to the .355" sizing.

I have only used a couple hundred or so from Berry's and maybe 1000 or so Rainiers (I could get these locally) and I couldn't really tell the difference. I tried Xtreme's about 2 years ago and haven't gone back to Berrys or Rainiers.

I ordered some bullets from Bayou to try out. From what I've read here, people have had good luck with the stock Glock barrels.

Posting my review on Berry's 9mm 124gr . .Look like FMJ, called plated.. I tried a coated lead RN. Coated w/what? Paint? Poly?..It peels&flakes.Leaving lead exposure... The Brand X : Has a stout fat nose. Chambers fine in a Glock and *plunks" out. ( Free fall drop out) But does not with my tight chamber 1911 9mn 4.25" bbl (aka: cmdr when a genuine colt)..But Berry's has the rocket cone tapered nose. Appears to be the world class good stuff.And performs like premium factory ammo. Gives you a 1st class product. No lead hazard exposure ..I don't know what pros will say but I resize my bullets to .054..After mic'ing factory ammo, it seemed more to spec..Plus less expansion on case mouth.Just do a minute (my noot ) flare to pre-guide the bullet into the case..I need Berry's to satisfy my 1911 9mm Commander copy cat..For the curious: It is claimed to be a used Remington bbl. In a Stealth Arms 80% frame..Is Clark/Para ramp. Old school bushing bbl. 9 Rd mecgar Mag..It hates flat nose ammo ..And short ammo (bullet seated too short/deep in)..Will eject doubles in the p80-g26 & the 1911..The Berry's normal rocket cone nose allows more OAL in the chamber..Ammo too long will wreak havoc in the magazine. Invest in digital calipers & a powder scale..Thanks & Be safe !

Of the two I have also found the Rainier’s more accurate. The very early ones were really rough but they really have a nice consistency and finish to them now.
