Berry’s Hybrid Hollow Point Handgun Bullets in .380 caliber, 100 grain (brand part no. 51837), are a bonded copper-plated bullet with a swaged lead core, built by merging two developmental hollow-point design concepts into one projectile. Loaded at the recommended velocity range, the Hybrid Hollow Point penetrates 11 to 13 inches in ballistic gelatin with excellent accuracy and a minimum of 98 percent weight retention, giving handloaders a consistent, well-tested expansion profile to load around. The 1,000-count box makes it a practical choice for reloaders running high volumes of .380 ACP practice and defensive-style handloads.
