    Berry’s vs xtreme

    How do the Berry’s 9mm compare to the xtreme projectiles ? Any pros cons?

    Berry's suck IMHO. Soft and light plating. They are pretty beat when they come right out of the box. It is why we have been an xtreme dealer for 10+ years.

    Haven't seen another bullet compare to them yet

    Berry's plating seems very thin in comparison

    Xtreme makes a much better plated bullet in my opinion. I run them in .38 Special, 9mm, .380, .45 ACP, and .45 Colt.There is very little variation in weight regardless of caliber and the plating is thicker than the Berrys. I would let you give me a box of Berrys but I'll be damned if I would be willing to pay much for them.

    Xtreme have the best plating in the business. I shoot thousands a year of the 165 grain RNFP .40 caliber projectiles. Tried Berry's once when I caught them on clearance. They were so soft that my seating die was leaving indentions in them even with way more belling of the case mouths. I thought maybe I had a bad batch, but seems lots of people say they are too soft.
    "Do I reload to shoot more, or do I shoot to reload more?" 30-378 Weatherby, .300 RUM, 7mm Rem Mag, 6.5 Creedmoor, .223/5.56, .375 H&H, .40 S&W, 10mm, .357 SIG

    I've never used them in anything but my wife's .380 and they actually do pretty good (100gn HBRN) for a pocket gun (M&P 380 shield EZ). 1 7/16" pattern at 25' not to bad for a 3.6" barrel. I shoot mostly Xtreme's 124gn HP's in my 9mm and love em but there's not to much available for the .380 in plated but after seeing this thread maybe I'll try some of Xtreme's 100gn RNFP.
