I can't tell if your talking about me or you or someone else hahahah.OP is consumed with worry and fear over one of his friend's diminishing shooting ability
Time and place bruh.
We had accuracy problems with Berry's plated out of both a Glock 19 and Nighthawk 9mm 1911. I wonder if we were just pushing them too fast or what (we were always well below max Unique load), but we went back to a regular FMJ that worked.
They shoot great for me, going to up the charge a tenth of a grain as weaker loads give me (and anyone else with a Gen4 9mm Glock) erratic ejection.

Overcrimping issue maybe? I've seen that rear its head before with Berry's plated bullets. But I know several folks shooting them in super without issue, so I'd be surprised if it was a velocity thing.
I think mine were right at .376

- Reloading press used (list modifications if relevant)installed :Dillon 650 with roller cam upgrade and Rotocam actuator
- Caliber: 9mm
- Bullet (Weight, Coating, Profile, Manufacturer): Berry's 124gr HBFT (hollow base flat tip)
- Powder manufacturer, type and charge; volume, type (ball, stick, flake): 3.8gr Titegroup
- Dies used: Dillon except for Lee FCD
- Primers used: Win SPP
- Cartridge Overall Length (COAL): 1.13
- Chronograph data (if possible): #PoorFag
- Goals intended with this load: My last load (3.7gr Titegroup) with this bullet was too weak and therefore gave me erratic ejection (Gen4 Glocks have erratic ejection with weaker loads), I wanted a solid, accurate, reliable load that didn't eject brass to the face.
- Results - accuracy, smokiness, clean burning, flash, temperature, smell, brass deformation, etc.: Outstanding, I tried three nodes: 3.8gr, 3.9gr, and 4.0 gr. This worked best of all of them. Oddly enough, 3.9gr gave me erratic ejection and poor accuracy, 4.0 did not on either.
- Problems encountered and fixes applied: None.
- Anything of interest: Below target is 17 rounds at 7 yards, shot as fast as I could acquire the target. I'm happy.

Nice shooting!
I shoot a lot of Berry's 124RN through my HK's and they are good enough for 90% of my needs. They are more consistent than Xtreme but my favorite for accuracy is the Precision Delta 124 JHP or Hornady HAP.
With any of them I load 5.0 grains WSF.
My experience with Titegroup, Clays, and other fast pistol powders is they tend to create a recoil pulse that affects slide velocity. The load will run fine for me and feels soft but I put the gun and load into someone's hands that has a weaker grip and the gun will choke. I don't have that issue with WSF.

.378 here.
