9mm (.356) 147 gr Hybrid Hollow Point
Berry’s Hybrid Hollow Points are the result of two merged developmental ideas. Following the same process as our Superior Plated Bullets®, they start with a swaged lead core that is then electroplated with copper to final weight. Lastly, they are re-struck to ensure precise specifications and create the Hybrid Hollow Point nose design. This 147 gr 9mm hollow point design allows for maximum expansion and weight retention, becoming one of the most reliable self defense bullets available today. The 9mm’s penetration is 11″-13″.

- Bullet O.A.L.:.610"
- Cartridge Name:9mm
- Cartridge O.A.L.:1.10"
- Recommended Velocity:975 - 1075 fps
- Load data for our Superior Plated Bullets® can be found in any manual or on any powder manufacturer’s website.
- Cast or jacketed data with the same grain weight and profile will work with our bullets.
- You can use a taper or a roll crimp.
- Don’t over crimp the brass after seating. This causes bullet core separation, leading to increased copper fouling and accuracy issues.
- Don’t exceed the recommended maximum velocities listed. This creates bullet core separation and accuracy issues.
- Use a round nose seating stem. A flat point seating stem will alter the performance of the Hybrid Hollow Point.

Have loaded 1000 rds for use in my LC Carbine and Thompson 1927A1. Feeds and fires perfectly in both with better than acceptable accuracy. My new go-to bullet for fun plinking.з>

My go to for reloading 7.62×39! Seem to be consistent and help keep the cost down. They work great in both my ak and sks.з>

These do create a slightly visible ‘belt’ in the case, being .356 diameter, but perform just like the Speer 147g HP, at a fraction of the cost for training. No issues with feeding/cycling in my finicky PSA 8″ Shockwave when…з>
The Perfect 9mm for Self Defense
Our 147 gr 9mm hollow point bullets deliver the stopping power you need for personal defense situations. The hollow point design creates consistent expansion when the bullet hits its target, transferring energy effectively while maintaining excellent weight retention. This makes our bullets ideal for self defense scenarios where performance matters most.
Unlike standard full metal jacket options, our hollow point bullets offer the expansion needed in critical situations. At 147 grain, these bullets provide a standard 9mm bullet weight with proven performance, and are great for crafting subsonic ammo for personal defense. They maintain excellent stability and accuracy, with manageable felt recoil.
Berry’s bullets stand in the sweet spot between cast and jacketed hollow point options. Cast bullets are low-cost but offer inconsistent performance, while jacketed hollow points provide high performance at premium prices. Our copper-plated hollow points strike a balance, delivering consistent performance at a more affordable price point.
Our Bullet-Making Process
Starting with a Solid Core
Every Berry’s bullet begins with a swaged lead core formed under high pressure. This swaging process ensures uniform density throughout the core, contributing to the bullet’s stability in flight and consistent performance.
The Copper-Plating Process
After creating the core, we move to our specialized electroplating process. Each lead core is immersed in a copper cyanide solution while an electric current is applied. This creates a controlled reaction that deposits a copper layer onto the lead core, resulting in bullets with zero lead exposure.
Re-Striking: Refined and Perfected
Our 147 gr bullets then undergo a re-striking process. We pass each bullet through a die to achieve precise specifications for length and diameter. This step reinforces the bond between the copper and lead core while creating our signature hollow point design. The result is a bullet that performs like more expensive jacketed hollow points at a better price.
Quality Assurance: The Final Step
Before shipping, all of our bullets undergo rigorous inspection. We ensure each bullet meets our standards for accuracy, reliability, and performance, providing consistency round after round.
