Berrys makes an excellent product, especially their heavy plated versions. I mostly buy Extreme though, better price and excellent performance. I use Berrys heavy plate for magnum rounds and in my carbines because they handle the increased velocity much better and since I shoot them at a much lower volume the added cost is insignificant.

These folks are a supporting vendor at the Firing Line sister site The High Road.
There is a lot of good things being said about these people and this is where I will be making my next purchase.
Also their jacketed bullets run about the same price point as their plated.

I've used plated bullets from several mfgs in 9MM. I can't tell any difference at the range. Some are shinier than others but all perform well. Berrys, Ranier, thebulletworks.net, Extreme and maybe others. RMR has good buys on jacketed bullets, i have not used RMR plated bullets but I have confidence they will be good.

Xtreme , Everglades reloading, and American reloading.
I just read this thread and found out Rainer is defunct. I immediately went to Midway and bought 3K of their 148 DEWC's. I already had 4K + a partial box; but now I have 7K 
Rainer's DEWC is - far and away - superior to any other plated DEWC out there - bar none. All others are rounded on the edges and don't really cut a clean hole in paper. Rainer's actually have a ridge and so they cut a very clean hole. They are superb. I'm going to miss them. Of course, at 7000, it's going to be a good while
BTW, Midway had them on clearance and I only paid $71.something-something for them (per 1000). That just over 7 cents each - about that for lead slugs.
As far as other plated bullets, I go with X-treme for everything else. I have been very pleased with their products and service.
I have used Berry's too. But I have only bought them from my LGS when there was an immediate need; and that's probably not the most economical way. I have never bought Berry's on line.
