The Buffalo Bore .32 S&W Long 115gr Hard Cast LFN is a 20-round box of hard cast ammunition for .32 S&W Long revolvers (Buffalo Bore part no. 10A20). Buffalo Bore designed it to make this old cartridge effective for self-defense, using a hard cast flat-nose bullet that will not deform. The 115-grain bullet runs at about 800 fps, roughly 100 fps faster than any commercial load Buffalo Bore could find, at pressures within the SAAMI limit of 15,000 PSI. Buffalo Bore expects 20 to 30 inches of straight-line penetration. It gives millions of small old revolvers a meaningful purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which revolvers can fire this .32 S&W Long load? Buffalo Bore says it is safe in any solid-frame revolver in ordinary shooting condition, meaning any revolver that is not a top-break frame, and can also be fired in revolvers chambered in .32 H&R Magnum and .327 Federal.

Will the hard cast bullet lead-foul my barrel? Buffalo Bore says the bullets are alloyed and lubed so they will not substantially lead foul any normal barrel.

Why not use a jacketed expanding bullet? Buffalo Bore says an expanding bullet would limit penetration in this cartridge, so it uses a hard cast flat-nose bullet that keeps its shape and penetrates.
