The Buffalo Bore 20D20 delivers maximum tissue disruption through its 150-grain hard cast wadcutter design, engineered for deep penetration and clean wound channels in 38 Special platforms. This standard pressure loading ensures reliable function across all 38 Special revolvers while maintaining exceptional accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The hard cast wadcutter bullet profile cuts clean, full-diameter holes through targets, creating wound channels significantly larger than traditional round nose designs. Unlike soft lead bullets that may deform on impact, the hardened alloy construction maintains structural integrity through barriers including heavy clothing and intermediate obstacles. Standard pressure specifications generate 850 fps muzzle velocity with 240 foot-pounds of energy, delivering serious stopping power without excessive recoil or accelerated cylinder wear.
