Berry'S 24744 Superior 380Cal 100Gr Hollow Base Round Nose
$47.93
The Berry's 24744 Superior 380 Cal 100gr Hollow Base Round Nose bullet is purpose-built for handloaders working up reliable, consistent ammunition for .380 ACP defensive and target loads. With a 100-grain weight and hollow base design, these projectiles are engineered to deliver predictable performance across a range of powder and primer combinations—ideal whether you're loading for personal protection, range practice, or refining your ballistic setup.
Hollow base bullets have been a reloader's choice for decades because they simplify bullet seating and promote consistent chamber fit while reducing required powder charges compared to solid-base designs. The round nose profile is forgiving in compact .380 platforms and feeds reliably through most semi-automatic firearms. Berry's maintains tight quality control on their Superior line, so you can expect consistent weight and dimensions lot-to-lot—crucial when you're developing accurate loads and chasing tight groups.
Whether you're a precision-minded reloader optimizing for accuracy or simply tired of paying retail ammunition prices, switching to component bullets like these Berry's rounds gives you control over every variable in your finished cartridge. The 100-grain weight sits in the middle of the practical range for .380 ACP, balancing velocity, recoil, and terminal characteristics without requiring exotic powders or primers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What .380 ACP handloads can I make with these bullets?
The 100-grain weight works across the full spectrum of .380 ACP loads, from modest practice velocities to defensive performance levels. Your specific load will depend on powder selection, primer, and case—consult a reloading manual for your exact setup to ensure safe, consistent results.
Why does the hollow base design matter for my reloading?
Hollow base bullets seat more easily and consistently because there's less material to engage the die, reducing sizing wear and powder loss during seating. They also perform well in pistols with looser chamber tolerances and reduce the powder charge needed compared to solid-base designs.
Are these bullets suitable for both range and carry ammunition?
These are component bullets—how they perform depends entirely on how you load them. With appropriate powder, primer, and technique, you can develop loads for practice, target work, or personal protection. Always follow established reloading data and safety protocols for your specific application.
