The original British loading for the .380/200 was a 200-gr. bullet, almost a direct copy of Colt's Super Police load for the cartridge.

However, it was changed from a lead slug (worries about the Hague Accords) to a lighter, jacketed bullet with a rather pointed round nose.

This round had a pretty dismal record and reputation amongst British troops.
