Buffalo Bore’s .380 ACP 100-grain Hard Cast Flat Nose load (load no. 27E20) gives the small-frame .380 pistol a penetration-focused option instead of the expanding hollow points most shooters default to. Buffalo Bore Ammunition builds this Strictly Business round at standard .380 ACP pressure, so it runs safely in any .380 pistol in normal operating condition without the caveats that come with +P ammunition. The hard cast lead alloy bullet holds its flat-nose shape on impact instead of deforming, driving straight-line penetration through barriers a hollow point would never reach. That makes this load a deliberate choice for shooters who want penetration depth over expansion from a compact carry caliber. Backed by Buffalo Bore’s exacting manufacturing standards, it is built for shooters who know exactly why they picked hard cast over jacketed hollow point.
