I use it in my .38 special. I've got the short barrel +P stuff and it's HOT HOT HOT! I like the it a lot in my steel framed Rossi, but it is too hot for me to shoot out of my S&W 642. I think it's good ammo and would suggest it to anyone who is not recoil sensitive.Who has used Buffalo Bore ammo?
And what do you think of it?
Agreed....their offerings are positively devastating. Bmcgilvray is spot on about their 38's, they perform more closely to some other manufacturers 357 loads. Buffalo Bore is focused on high quality, and that is exactly what you get.I've used it in .38 Special and it's all it's cracked up to be. I mostly handload but for the most potent .38 Special ammunition it is very difficult to safely beat Buffalo Bore +P 158 grain lead semi-wadcutter .38 Special performance with any sane handload. Velocities are also uniform when tested over the chronograph screens.
Do you use the solids or the JHP in 9mm Makorov ? I looked at them but the LGS has Hornady FTX in stock; was local purchase w/o a wait and I figure pretty decent ammo. Just wonder if they are that much better and if the flat point solids feed reliably in a weapon that was designed to feed ball ammo. The FTX with the polymer insert in the hollow point cavity seemed to be a good idea for reliable feeding. Not sure that it makes a difference since I never tried the BB but I fired 40+ rounds thru my P64 without a feed problem and they were as accurate as the ball.I use it in:
380 ACP - Ruger LCP
9x18 Mak - CZ82
45 LC - Taurus 445
45-70 Gov - Marlin Guide Gun
In short, in every older/underpowered chambering where I can use them in a modern gun, when the normal commercial makers will not produce a high quality, higher powered round. They are everything they claim to be, just damn expensive.
Which one, they list 5 different loadingsHave tried most of the "boutique" ammo, BB feeds the most reliable in my 10MM Glock.
Can private individuals import ammunition into Canada?How much is their delivery delay these days?
I thought the FBI was looking for minimum 18" of penetration in gel. By the time you account for bones and clothing you're not going to get 18" in an actual human body.In addition, the hot stuff gives you more than the FBI max of 18 inches, which increases over penetration risk.
