    I haven"t tried 147, but I think Berry's are fine in general.

      Berry's are fine.

      Good bullets.

      I think Powder Valley has the best prices on Berry's, although the best deal is on 115gr RN's.

        Excellent plated bullets. I use them for my 9mm and .45ACP, no problems to report with them.

        I get mine directly from Berry's website. Free shipping on orders over $50, and I haven't found it anywhere else cheaper.

                ^^^Sub Sonic maybe? IDK why. 9MM is already pretty light recoiling.

                Cant speak to the 9MM Berrys but I religiously usee 180gr 40's and 158gr 357's

                I seem to always get mine from Sportsmans warehouse or Scheels when I hit reno.

                    You won't go wrong with Berry's. I'd suggest buying up a nice big amount and getting the free shipping. Of course, you postal carrier will hate you. Literally.

                      If it fits, it ships. Not sure how long that will last...

                      Absolutely correct.

                      My last load of 4000 Montana Golds came USPS Flat Rate. My postal carrier was really huffing by the time he got to the top of the stairs. He started complaining about how the vendor needed to spilt up their shipments into lighter packages. I said something like, "isn't it if it fits it ships?" he was not smiling as he turned and left.

                        If it fits --it breaks the box when they drop it. Most of the flat rate boxes I have received with brass or bullet had holes in them or split seams. Fortunately the senders have always sent a little extra to cover the losses.

                          My Post Office refused to deliver mine to the house, I had to go pick them up.

                          115g 9mm.......havent worked up a load yet.
                          155g .40......... 6.5g of Power Pistol accuarte and the wife loves shooting them.
                          185g (I thaink thats what they were) .45... I would have to get out the log book but its loaded up with Power Pistol as well.

                          Thats pretty much all I shoot out of my pistols for plinking rounds.

                            I use Berry's for my 9mm, 38, 357, and 45 (friend's gun). No problem so far. It's good plinking bullet and good accuracy. I've pushed them (in 9mm and 357) past the recommend velocity and never experience any problem. I just put a light crimp.
