Actually, the powder is in the cartridge case. A bullet is the metal projectile that is fired out of the barrel. The powder for a 9mm Parabellum (also called 9mm Luger) cartridge will be one of several different smokless powders. I use Bullseye or Unique for many of my pistol loads, but there are dozens that can be used.

What bullet is fastest 380 or9mm bullet?

It depends on the bullet weights. The 9 mm (AKA 9x19 mm, 9 mm Luger, or 9 mm Parabellum) is faster than the .380 ACP (AKA 9 mm Kurz) except when you compare the lightest .380 bullets to the heaviest 9 mm bullets. If you compare the same bullet weights in each, the 9 mm is always faster.

Is there a difference between a 38 special caliber bullet and a .380 caliber bullet?

Yes. .38 special is a revolver cartridge and .380 is an auto cartridge. Also, the .38 will almost always have a heavier bullet and more muzzle energy than a .380. The .38 bullet is 0.357 inches in diameter while the .380 is 0.355 inches in diameter. Technically, the .380 cartridge is considered part of the 9 mm class of bullets. [9 mm x 19 mm = 9 mm Luger or 9 mm Parabellum, 9 mm x 18 mm = 9 mm Tokarov, and 9 mm x 17 mm = .380 ACP]


Is there a difference between a 38 caliber bullet and a 380 caliber bullet?

Yes they is a differnent. When people say "38" they usually mean .38 special, which is a revolver cartridge. .380 ACP is a semi-automatic cartridge. The bullet in a .380 cartridge, even though it's called .380, is actually very slightly smaller in diameter, and lighter than the bullet in a .38 cartridge. The .38 bullet is 0.357 inches in diameter while the .380 is 0.350 inches in diameter. Technically, the .380 cartridge is considered part of the 9 mm class of bullets. [9 mm x 19 mm = 9 mm Luger or 9 mm Parabellum, 9 mm x 18 mm = 9 mm Tokarov, and 9 mm x 17 mm = .380 ACP]

How much propellent powder is in a 9 mm primer?

None. A primer does not contain propellant powder- it contains an explosive that ignites the powder. If you mean how much propellant powder is in a 9mm cartridge, that will depend on which 9mm cartridge (there are nearly a dozen different 9mms) which weight bullet, and which powder. My basic reload data table for 9mm Parabellum (9mm Luger) is 3 pages of data with different powders, bullets, etc. A basic load is 4.5 grains of Bullseye powder with a 115 grain bullet.


How far does a 9 mm bullet travel?

You do not mention which 9 mm cartridge you are asking about. As the 9mm Luger (parabellum) is the most popular handgun load in the world, I assume this is the one? The maximum listed range is about 2200 metres. Actual distance will vary depending on the grain weight of the bullet (for the 9mm luger, from 100 to 147), barell length, and other factors.
