.45 (.452) 185gr Hollow Base Round Nose

Have loaded 1000 rds for use in my LC Carbine and Thompson 1927A1. Feeds and fires perfectly in both with better than acceptable accuracy. My new go-to bullet for fun plinking.

7.62 x 39mm (.311) 123gr Spire Point

My go to for reloading 7.62×39! Seem to be consistent and help keep the cost down. They work great in both my ak and sks.

These do create a slightly visible ‘belt’ in the case, being .356 diameter, but perform just like the Speer 147g HP, at a fraction of the cost for training. No issues with feeding/cycling in my finicky PSA 8″ Shockwave when…

.380 Bullets by Berry’s Bullets: Performance, Precision, and Protection

At Berry’s Bullets, we don’t just manufacture bullets—we engineer performance. Our .380 bullets are trusted by shooters who demand consistency, accuracy, and quality for every round they load. Whether you’re practicing at the range or preparing for personal protection, our superior-plated pistol bullets are crafted to deliver dependable performance with manageable recoil and reliable penetration depth.

This collection features a variety of bullet types and weights designed for reloading .380 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) ammo. From hollow point bullets to flat base round nose projectiles, Berry’s .380 bullets are made to meet the high standards of today’s shooters.

A Legacy of Reliability: The .380 ACP Cartridge

Originally developed by John Moses Browning in 1908 for the Colt Pocket Hammerless, the .380 ACP has stood the test of time. Also known as 9mm Short, 9mm Browning, or 9mm Corto, this cartridge remains a trusted option for compact pistols like the Colt Mustang and Ruger LCP.

Its relatively short overall length and lighter bullet weight make it ideal for smaller auto pistols. With a design that favors ease of concealment and minimal recoil, the .380 ACP remains one of the most popular choices for self-defense and personal protection.

What makes this caliber so unique is its ability to deliver effective stopping power in soft tissue without the excessive recoil seen in larger cartridges. Whether loaded with a 100 gr bullet or a heavy hollow point, the .380 ACP balances power and portability like few others can.

Use Cases: When to Choose .380 Bullets

Berry’s .380 bullets are versatile and can be used in a range of shooting scenarios:

Self Defense and Personal Protection

Concealed carry pistols chambered in .380 ACP, such as the Ruger LCP and Bersa Thunder, are popular for personal defense due to their compact size. When loaded with Berry’s .380 100 gr Heavy Hollow Point (HHP), these firearms offer enhanced penetration depth and expansion—crucial for neutralizing threats effectively. For safety reasons, using consistent and reliable bullets like ours is key to dependable performance.

Target Shooting and Training

If you’re building confidence and accuracy at the range, our .380 100 gr Flat Base Round Nose (FBRN) bullets are perfect. Their aerodynamic shape and uniform weight distribution help ensure stable flight and consistent results on paper targets or steel plates. Plus, their lighter bullet weight contributes to reduced muzzle velocity and softer recoil, which makes it easier to stay on target through extended shooting sessions.

Law Enforcement and Backup Firearms

While not a primary duty round, the .380 ACP is still found in backup pistols for law enforcement officers. Our 100 gr RS (Round Shoulder) and Hollow Base Round Nose (HBRN) options provide options for custom load data setups tailored to backup weapon platforms.

.380 100 gr Flat Base Round Nose (FBRN)

Designed for target shooting and general practice, this bullet type offers a smooth feeding profile and excellent accuracy. With its ideal bullet diameter and balanced bullet weight, the FBRN design is a go-to for shooters who prioritize consistency over flash.

.380 100 gr Hollow Base Round Nose (HBRN)

With a slightly different weight distribution, the hollow base enhances flight stability and expansion characteristics, offering another layer of control and precision. Ideal for shooters who want tighter groups and more predictability in ballistic gel tests.

.380 100 gr RS (Round Shoulder)

This unique profile bridges the gap between flat point and round nose designs. It feeds reliably in auto pistols and gives reloaders more options when customizing loads based on case mouth pressure, firing pin impacts, or barrel types.

.380 100 gr Heavy Hollow Point (HHP)

For personal protection, nothing beats a hollow point. Our HHP bullets are engineered to expand quickly in soft tissue while maintaining enough mass for reliable penetration depth. Loaded in .380 ACP, these bullets are optimized for close-quarters use and emergency defense scenarios.

.380 Bullets vs. Similar Calibers

Understanding how the .380 bullet stacks up to other popular pistol bullets can help you make an informed choice.

.380 ACP vs. 9mm Luger

Both are 9mm-class projectiles, but the .380 has a lighter bullet and reduced recoil. The 9mm Luger, while more powerful, also produces greater muzzle velocity and energy—features that may be overkill for close-range self-defense or those seeking manageable recoil in smaller handguns.

.380 ACP vs. .38 Special

The .38 Special is commonly used in revolvers and features a longer case and higher overall energy potential. While both bullets share a similar bullet diameter, the .380 ACP is designed for auto pistols and is easier to conceal due to smaller firearm platforms. In short, the .380 is great for EDC (Every Day Carry) while the .38 Special excels in longer-barrel revolvers.
