380 Auto Brass Shells

Once Fired 380 Auto Brass Casings — Empty Shells for Bullet Jewelry & Crafts

These 380 Auto brass shells are genuine, once fired 380 brass casings recovered and hand-inspected by our team — real spent shell material, never a cast or machined replica. Each batch is tumbled and cleaned, with mixed headstamps from various manufacturers for authentic variety. If you'd rather work with a uniform finish, our nickel .380 Auto brass casings are the same caliber with a bright silver tone, and our pre-drilled .380 brass shells come ready to string with no extra tools needed.
