A better bullet would be the Speer Gold Dot at .400 diameter, 180g (there are 100 in a box of these bullets for $22, that is 22 cents each, you can beat that):

Have you fired any of those 200g Berry hollow points? What did you think of them?

Cabela's reviewers describe the Berry bullets as heavy plated, very accurate, primarily for plinking or target use. I didn't find many references to hunting use but I would think the hollowpoint would surely be okay. Cabela's actually has a good price on these in 250 packs.

Thats what I thought. Un-bonded bullets will separate from the plating, which will loose energy and slow penatration.Bonded bullets usually will not separate from the jacket. Just because a bullet is cheap does not make it worth using on an animal or humane.Great for plinking, and definately would not use the flat nose for hunting.

I might buy some of those Berry bullets if they were .399 instead of .401.
