Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets .380 cal .356" 100 gr HBRN 250/ct

Berry's Preferred Plated Pistol Bullets in .380 caliber represent the most cost-effective ammunition component for reloaders seeking reliable performance without lead barrel fouling. Manufactured by Berry's, a recognized leader in plated bullet production, these .356" diameter, 100-grain hollow base round nose bullets deliver the precision and consistency that serious handloaders demand from every firing session. The 250-round count provides a practical volume for practice loads, testing, and duty ammunition development.

The key specification that distinguishes these bullets is the hollow base design—a geometry that extends the bullet profile while increasing contact area with barrel rifling. This engineering feature stabilizes the projectile in flight and measurably improves shot-to-shot grouping compared to conventional flat-base alternatives. Berry's manufacturing process swages and electroplates each bullet to final weight, then re-strikes it for dimensional uniformity. The 100-grain weight in .380 caliber sits at the heavier end of the spectrum for this round, providing increased sectional density without exceeding pressure limits in standard .380 ACP handguns.

.380 ACP reloaders—whether law enforcement, armed security personnel, or civilian shooters—benefit from plated bullets that eliminate lead residue in firearms used in controlled indoor ranges. The .380 platform remains one of the most deployed compact handgun cartridges in duty and off-duty carry, making component supply and consistency critical for training volume. A 250-round box supports approximately five practice sessions with a compact handgun, or provides baseline testing for load development across multiple powder charges and primers.
