A .380 Exploder has a primer cap in the nose of a hollow pt bullet that has been filled with small amounts of black powder. Headstamp Super Vel/ .380 auto. John Hinkley Jr used a similar bullet , a .22 Devastator, to shoot President Reagan 30 years ago. It didn't explode on contact. wolfgang

I had some in 357 mag years and years ago. Shot several things with them and they never did do much, if anything. But they did have cool factor.

I love freedom, cause a chained dog ain't happy.
