Berry’s .38 SPL (.357) Bullets 158gr Round Nose 1000pk

This 158-grain round nose is the traditional bullet shape for .38 Special, and Berry’s plated version gives you that familiar profile without the exposed lead. The swaged core is fully copper-plated and then re-struck to precise dimensions, so each bullet seats consistently and shoots cleanly indoors.

Important Fit Note: Berry’s states this bullet is not for use in .357 Magnum. The ogive shape means you cannot load to an overall length within SAAMI spec for the .357 Mag, so keep this one for .38 Special brass only .

Why This Bullet Works for You

• Classic Round Nose: Feeds smoothly in revolvers and lever-actions chambered for .38 Special.

• Plated Construction: No exposed lead, which means cleaner indoor sessions and less barrel fouling.

• Consistent Weight: Re-struck after plating for uniform diameter and reliable accuracy.

• Versatile .38 Loads: A dependable choice for target practice and club shooting.

Load Data & Tips

• Crimping: A light taper or roll crimp is all you need. Over-crimping can separate the core from the plating and ruin accuracy.

• Load Data: Use standard cast or jacketed data for a 158gr round nose of the same profile. Data is available in any reputable manual or on powder manufacturers’ websites.

• Velocity: Stick to published data for the .38 Special and do not push this bullet into magnum territory.
