200gr Semi-Wadcutter – Classic Target Profile for .45 ACP
The semi-wadcutter (SWC) design has long been a favorite among precision pistol shooters:
For reloaders seeking a dependable 200gr .45 SWC that feeds well and punches crisp target holes, this Berry’s projectile is an outstanding option.
Superior Plated Construction – Clean, Consistent & Fully Encapsulated
Berry’s Superior Plated Bullets® are designed to bridge the gap between cast lead and full metal jacket:
Start with a swaged lead core, which ensures uniform density and weight. apexordnance.com+1
The core is then electroplated with copper to its final weight, completely encapsulating the lead and leaving no exposed lead. Classic Firearms+2OpticsPlanet+2
Each bullet is re-struck in a precision die to final dimensions, improving concentricity and giving a smooth, consistent profile. apexordnance.com+1
This process creates a bonded copper “jacket” that’s thinner and more economical than traditional FMJ, but still tough enough for target, training, and competition use—with notably consistent performance. apexordnance.com+1
Indoor-Range Safe & Easy on Barrels
Because the Berry’s 41391 bullet is fully plated, it’s especially well-suited to modern range environments:
If you shoot often—especially indoors—this combination of cleaner barrels and lower lead exposure is a major advantage over traditional cast projectiles.
Accuracy & Reliability for Target and Competition
These 200gr SWC bullets are designed to deliver consistent, repeatable performance:
Reloaders and reviewers report tight, repeatable groups and reliable feeding in common .45 ACP platforms like the 1911 when properly loaded. Gun Values Board+1
The uniform swaged core and plated jacket help maintain consistent velocities and point-of-impact from shot to shot. OpticsPlanet+1
The semi-wadcutter profile combines good feeding characteristics with clear target impact, making it ideal for bullseye, IDPA/USPSA practice, and general precision shooting. Gun Values Board+2TargetBarn.com+2
When matched with appropriate powders and careful load development, these bullets can easily support sub-3" groups at typical pistol distances, more than accurate enough for serious practice and competition-level training. Gun Values Board+1
Ideal for .45 ACP Reloading & High-Volume Practice
The Berry’s 41391 200gr SWC is optimized for .45 ACP and other .452" handgun loads:
Designed around .45 ACP pressures and velocities; many sellers list a recommended maximum velocity around 1,250 fps for Superior Plated Bullets (always confirm on Berry’s site or current packaging). Hinterland Outfitters+1
Suitable for other .45-caliber cartridges that accept .452" bullets when using correct, published load data. Palmetto State Armory+1
As with any plated bullet, Berry’s recommends using load data for lead or low-to-mid-range jacketed bullets and staying within their velocity guidelines. Always follow safe reloading practices and current published data. apexordnance.com+1
For reloaders who want one go-to 200gr SWC for thousands of rounds of practice ammo, this bullet is a proven, cost-effective choice.
