Buffalo Bore Ammunition Part Number 20H20 is a .38 Special +P centerfire handgun load designed for deep penetration in modern .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers that are rated for +P ammunition. It uses a 158-grain hard cast flat-nose bullet engineered for reliable performance from compact and lightweight revolvers, including models with short barrels. This load is well suited for outdoor carry, hunting, and other applications where penetration and consistent bullet performance are important.
The load produces a listed muzzle velocity of 1,250 feet per second and muzzle energy of 548 foot-pounds. Its hard cast construction and flat-nose profile support controlled penetration through challenging targets, while the brass casing promotes dependable feeding and extraction in compatible revolvers. A flash-retardant powder is used to help reduce muzzle flash in low-light conditions, supporting better visibility when shooting after dark.
This ammunition is intended for use in modern-design .38 Special and .357 Magnum firearms that are in normal operating condition and specifically approved for the +P rating. It is not intended for antique, defective, or improperly maintained firearms. Each box contains 20 rounds, with 12 boxes per case. Verify your firearm’s caliber, +P compatibility, and manufacturer’s recommendations before use, and follow all applicable firearm safety practices and local regulations.
