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, 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!

    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.

Zero Bullets is an Alabama-based company that has been very successful with projectile production as well as finished ammunition. Their great reputation is due to their use of true copper jackets and consistent manufacturing quality. These projectiles weigh in at 125 grains which is on the heavier side for the caliber and is a favorite among experience match shooters that hand-load their own ammo. The full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets have a classic conical shape for easy feeding.

    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!

    Cost Per Bullet 13.0¢ per bullet

    These jacketed hollow-point (JHP) projectiles from Zero Bullets are perfect for putting together match or self-defense load for your .38 Super handguns. Zero Bullets, an Alabama-based manufacturer, constructs their JHPs using true copper jackets with segments cut at the junction of the hollow cavity. This facilitates more reliable expansion for wider wound cavities and greater terminal effect on target at a variety of speeds and distances. The hollow cavity up front also gives higher relative weight to the rear of the rounds for less flight deviation and more consistent accuracy.
