Buffalo Bore builds this Heavy .38 Special +P load (part no. 20B20) around a 125-grain jacketed hollow point for shooters who carry a compact .38 Special revolver and want genuine stopping power from it. Buffalo Bore manufactures every load to exacting standards, and this +P pressure loading pushes the bullet well past standard-pressure .38 Special velocities for a real increase in energy at the target. The jacketed hollow point is built to expand reliably on impact, delivering the kind of terminal performance that has built Buffalo Bore’s reputation for massive firepower out of compact cartridges. In handgun ammunition from Buffalo Bore Ammunition, this is a serious defensive option for a snub-nose or service revolver.
