Owner of Buffalo Bore Tim Sundles on Buffalo Bore Heavy 38 Special Ammunition:

This load was designed for those who need a deep penetrating 357 mag. or 38 SPL load to be fired from lightweight alloy 357's and any 38 SPL revolver. Lightweight alloy 357's develop multiple problems when firing our 180gr. 357 mag. hard cast turbo charged ammo or any make of full power 357 ammo. Yet many folks want a deep penetrating outdoor type of load for their lightweight pocket 357's, so here it is. This load utilizes a hard flat nosed bullet, at sufficient velocity, even from 2 inch barrels, to fully penetrate. This load is safe to shoot in all 38SPL and 357 magnum firearms of modern design that are in normal operating condition. In the super lightweight alloy revolvers (around 11-12 oz.) the bullet will not jump crimp under recoil provided you do not subject an unfired round to more than 5 or 6 firings. In all steel guns, even short barreled ones, crimp jump is not an issue as the all steel snub nosed revolvers are much heavier than the alloy versions.

This load utilizes a flash retardant powder that will not blind the shooter in low light conditions. This bullet is hard cast and properly lubed and as such will not substantially lead your barrel. You should find no degradation of accuracy when firing many cylinders full of this ammo without cleaning. We never use extra long laboratory barrels to produce our advertised velocities, which we feel is dishonest to the customer as those extra long barrels produce extra high velocities, which you cannot duplicate with stock revolvers in the real world. Instead, we use stock firearms and you can see the velocity results below.

  • 1255 fps -- Ruger GP 100, 6 inch barrel, 357 mag.
  • 1186 fps -- S&W Combat Masterpiece 6 inch barrel, 38 SPL (circa 1958)
  • 1146 fps -- S&W Mt. Gun, 4 inch barrel, 357 mag.
  • 1167 fps -- S&W Mod. 15, 4 inch barrel, 38 SPL (circa 1968)
  • 1112 fps -- Ruger SP 101, 3 inch barrel, 38 SPL
  • 1043 fps -- S&W Mod 66, 2.5 inch barrel, 357 mag.
