The Buffalo Bore 14D20 Buffalo-Barnes Strictly Business delivers premium terminal performance in 44 Special with Barnes TAC-XP lead-free projectiles. This specialized ammunition combines Buffalo Bore's high-pressure loading expertise with Barnes' proven all-copper hollow point technology for maximum expansion and penetration.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 44 Special loads that often underperform, this ammunition pushes the 200-grain Barnes TAC-XP bullet to higher velocities while maintaining SAAMI pressure specifications. The all-copper construction eliminates lead fouling concerns and provides consistent weight retention through barriers. Buffalo Bore's precise powder charges deliver velocities typically 200-300 fps faster than comparable factory loads.
Key Features
- 200-grain Barnes TAC-XP all-copper hollow point bullet
- Lead-free construction meets hunting regulations in all states
- Four razor-sharp petals expand reliably at lower velocities
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Small pistol primer compatible with standard reloading components
- 20 rounds per box, 12 boxes per case (240 total rounds)
- Suitable for both revolvers and lever-action rifles in 44 Special
Field testing demonstrates consistent expansion down to 800 fps impact velocity, making this load effective from snub-nose revolvers through 7.5-inch barrel guns. The TAC-XP design penetrates 12-16 inches in ballistic gelatin while creating a wound channel significantly larger than lead bullets. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this ammunition for backup guns and situations requiring barrier-blind performance.
