Berry's plated .223 bullets?

[greg11]

I've done some readig online about Berry's plated pistol bullets. Many people saying that pushing them past 1000fps can lead to jacket separation. Is this same 1000fps barrier applicable totheir rifle bullets? Surely it cant be... Who's shooting .223 under 1000fps!?!!?

Very curious as to the answer to this one, as I have about 700 of em and I'm looking to make a pile of them for medium term storage purposes. (SHTF rounds).

Their .30-30 offering are fine up to 2000fps. I'd think their .223 offering would be fine up to there as well, probably out to normal FPS if the company isn't stupid.

Load 100 and test them. Should work out well, I seriously doubt you will see jacket seperation.

I read somewhere that the .223 fmj bullets are made by hornady.

Can anybody confirm please... ?

Hornady makes cheap bulk fmj. I buy those. Quite accurate.

Like, Berry's rebrands the Hornady and calls them their own?

I understand your reason for concern however you may be missing something here. Berrys 223 bullets are Jacketed NOT plated as is the case with their pistol bullets. Having said that, you should have no problem with pushing them to normal velocities.
You can visit Berrys site and recheck but they do state that the bullets are in fact jacketed. If they were plated then yes, you would have to adjust accordingly.
