Recently picked up a P320 X5 and after 400rds of various factory and handloads through it as initial function test/break-in, going to see what it likes for a particular load for accuracy, if it's particular at all lol. So, since I have some Berry's and Campro 115gn plated RN, will also see how they compare to each other through the new pistol.

Some quick observations before loading some rounds,Berry's on left in pics below (20 rounds picked from each box at random):

- all Berry's bullets weighed in between 114.7 and 115.2 grains, Campro's were anywhere from 113.8 to 115.3
- Berry's LOA ~ 0.555", Campro's ~0.535; diameters of both consistent at 0.356" +/- .0005
- Berry's have a flat base, Campro's are slightly concave
- Berry's are noticeably "pointier", Campro's a more rounded finish
- Berry's are shinier lol

I'm curious to know if the weight deviations make a big enough difference to justify the increased cost of Berry's vs Campro.
Also wonder if 10 bullets is a large enough sample size.

Seems that Campro is going to be hard to beat as I can get it for about $40 less per 1000 as compared to Berrys.

Yes certainly hard to beat them on price, and I'm not expecting any real dramatic difference to be honest - just that the last time I went to get Campro's at the local dealer they were all out, so had these Berry's as back up.

P.S.nope, not gonna weigh 1k rounds! :)
