Anybody tried these hollow base round nose Berrys bullets yet? Results versus round nose Berrys bullets?
Thanks

No, but interested as well

I've used the 115gr with mixed results. My Glock ran them good but I had trouble getting them hot enough, without going over published load data, to operate my Beretta reliably. Could have experimented around a bit, but I decided to stick with 124 and 147gr RN. I loaded a lot of the 185gr HBRN in .45 for a light target load but have since switched to something with a more similar recoil to a load I might use in self defense.

I would see more of an advantage on a lead bullet being hollow base to prevent gas from getting by and leading. I do not see the advantage of a plated bullet being hollow based. They should run just like any other RN, but load development would be more of a pain than it would be worth to me due to the cavity.
