Buffalo Bore 38 Special 125gr JHP Standard Pressure Ammo 20 Rounds

Buffalo Bore 20E20 Standard Pressure ammunition delivers reliable terminal performance in 38 Special platforms without the recoil and muzzle blast of +P loads. This 125-grain jacketed hollow point cartridge maintains consistent expansion while staying within SAAMI pressure specifications for older revolvers and lightweight frames.

What Makes This Different

The "Strictly Business" line focuses on optimal performance at standard pressures rather than maximum velocity. Buffalo Bore's loading techniques achieve superior bullet expansion and penetration compared to factory loads while remaining safe for vintage Smith & Wesson, Colt, and Charter Arms revolvers. The 125-grain weight provides an ideal balance between penetration depth and expansion reliability in defensive scenarios.

Key Features

• 125-grain jacketed hollow point bullet for controlled expansion
• Standard pressure loading safe for all 38 Special firearms
• Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle signature
• Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
• Hand-inspected cartridges ensure consistent quality
• Low-flash propellant preserves night vision
• Temperature-stable powder maintains velocity across conditions

Field testing demonstrates consistent 12-15 inch penetration in ballistic gelatin with reliable expansion to .60+ inches. The moderate recoil characteristics make this load suitable for extended practice sessions and users sensitive to heavy recoil. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this ammunition for backup guns and off-duty carry where standard pressure requirements apply.
