38 Super Bullets

38 Super Bullets for Sale

Please note: the products on this page include only the projectile. For loaded rounds that include casing, powder and primer, please head to our 38 Super ammo page.

The most important thing we usually have to tell our customers about the 38 Super is that it is not the same as the 38 Special. Every now and then we get a call from someone wondering why the ammo they ordered won’t chamber in a Model 642!

The 38 Super (aka 38 Super Auto or 38 Superauto) was introduced in 1929 for law enforcement, but it wasn’t until the ‘80s that it really found its footing as a preferred sports shooting cartridge. The semi-auto cartridge usually has a “+P” headstamp, but this is more to make certain people don’t mistake 38 Super for its nearly identical parent round the 38 ACP (in dimensions, not power). You could repurpose 38 ACP brass to load 38 Super, but you will find new brass far more reliable in the long run.

38 Super bullets for reloading typically weigh 115, 125, or 130 grains, and are loaded to deliver muzzle velocities in the 1,200 to 1,280 fps range. Conveniently enough the 38 Super bullet is .355 in diameter, so you can load the same bullets as you’d use to make 9mm rounds. This round likes fast burning propellants and small pistol primers, two other components you’ve probably already got in good supply. Just remember to honor SAAMI’s max pressure of 36,500 psi and you’re golden.

    This isn’t loaded ammunition! Please only order these component bullets if you have tools and skills you would need to load your own 9mm ammunition.

    Do you prefer a 124 grain JHP load for personal protection – but you don’t want to waste your precious high-tech hollow points on range targets? Berry’s has the solution! These 0.356" diameter bullets have hollow point profiles, so they’ll offer extremely similar ballistic performance to your self-defense projectiles. You just won’t have to pay for the features which enable terminal expansion.

    This bullet consists of a swaged lead core, which is totally enveloped by its electroplated copper jacket. That’s great if you don’t want hot propellant gasses to vaporize any lead near your face while you’re honing your aim, and it’ll keep your barrel cleaner as well. Every Barry’s bullet is restruck following the electroplating process to ensure a solid bond and consistent dimensions.

    These 0.567” long target HP bullets are compatible with reloading data for both cast and jacketed 124 grain bullets that share a similar profile. Please note that firing these bullets faster than 1,250 fps may cause core/jacket separation!

    Works well for 357sig

    Bought for 357sig reloads.
    The profile is good so the crimp is good and the bullets seat correctly
    Uniform bullet shape is consistent.

    These are component bullets for handloading. This is not loaded ammunition that you can fire as soon as you open the box.

    Berry’s has remained family owned and operated since their foundation by Ray Berry in 1961. Today they’re well regarded among handloaders for the consistency of their component bullets – a reputation they’ve genuinely earned.

    This 0.356” diameter 115 grain plated hollow base round nose bullet is ideal for loading 9mm ammunition, but it is just as handy for 38 Super and 357 Sig. The bullet features a swaged lead core and electrochemically bonded copper jacket, which has been struck twice to guarantee its solid bond and uniform dimensions.

    Its electrochemically plated copper jacket completely envelops this bullet’s lead core. As the result it avoids producing vaporized lead during ignition to promote a healthier indoor shooting environment. The bullet’s core also remains undeformed, which alongside its balanced weight and standardized dimensions delivers exceptional accuracy.

    Berry’s recommends loading this 1.130” OAL bullet to a muzzle velocity no greater than 1,500 fps. They recommend a taper or roll crimp, but warn against over crimping that could cause core separation. Load data for comparable jacketed or cast 115 grain bullets may be used for these bullets as well.

    Perfect Reloads

    I’ve been having problems with reloaded rounds jamming during steel challenge. Switched to the Berry 9mm 115 HB RN TP, problem solved.

    This isn’t loaded ammunition! Please only order these component bullets, which lack cases, powder and primers, if you intend to load your own ammunition.

    We’re always happy when we can offer Zero’s component bullets for sale on our site. Our customers have a high opinion of them – and rightly so. The Alabamian manufacturer takes extra care to carefully control their bullets’ weights, diameters, jacket concentricity and core distribution so you can load to spec and appreciate stellar accuracy. Zero’s prices don’t break the bank, either!

    This particular bullet’s great for loading America’s favorite 9mm cartridges, but we reckon they’re a great way to make the much rarer 357 SIG or 38 Super as well. In addition to good accuracy, the JHP will deliver the terminal ballistics you’d want when self-defense is your goal. These bullets are great for handcrafting your own target shooting loads, too!

    Loaded some and worked fine.

    I would buy again.

    Review by Willie (Posted on 8/12/2024)

    Very good bullets

    These bullets are as good if not better than bullets costing 3 to 4 times as much. The bullets are accurate with no feeding problems. Will be buying more. Shipping was fast, and arrived undamaged.

    Woah there – this is not loaded ammunition. These component bullets will only do you any good if you plan to make your own handloads.

    Zero Bullets of Cullman, Alabama is one of the better component bullet manufacturers we could name. Their exacting quality assurance protocol yields bullets with impressively consistent weights, and their uniform .355" diameters are a given. Why, we’d say these 125 grain JHP projectiles are just the ticket if you intend to take the creation of your own self-defense loads into your own hands, but they’re also priced right for range loads!

    Zero’s bullets possess the concentric jackets and form-fitted lead cores they need to remain stable and accurate in flight. These bullets’ centered hollow point nose cavities make them able to quickly mushroom outward as they penetrate soft tissue. We’re sure most of these bullets will get seated in 9mm brass, but they’re also a swell way to load much harder to come by 38 Super and 357 SIG cartridges!

    Not for 357 SIG in my experience

    Purchased these bullets intending to load 357SIG ammo. I seated the bullets to a COAL of 1.150” yet I couldn’t get a crimp that prevented the bullet from being pushed into the 357SIG case upon chambering. These bullets are fine for 9mm cases.

    Excellent plated

    These are remarkable for the price.
