Buffalo Bore Ammunition 23F20 Outdoorsman delivers maximum penetration and bone-crushing performance for serious hunting applications. This hard cast flat nose ammunition transforms the .40 S&W cartridge into a legitimate big game hunting round capable of taking down large predators and dangerous game.
What Makes This Different
The 200-grain hard cast flat nose bullet design creates massive wound channels while maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and dense tissue. Unlike standard jacketed hollow points that fragment on impact, this solid bullet construction ensures deep, straight-line penetration exceeding 24 inches in ballistic gelatin. Buffalo Bore loads this cartridge to maximum SAAMI pressures, generating velocities approaching 1,200 fps from a 4-inch barrel.
Key Features
- 200-grain hard cast flat nose bullet for maximum penetration
- Loaded to full SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- Flat nose design creates larger wound channels than round nose bullets
- Hard cast construction resists deformation through heavy bone
- Nickel-plated brass cases for reliable extraction and corrosion resistance
- 20 rounds per box, 12 boxes per case (240 total rounds)
- Compatible with all .40 S&W firearms including Glock, S&W M&P, and 1911 platforms
This ammunition excels in hunting scenarios where deep penetration is critical, including wild boar, black bear, and other dangerous game within appropriate ranges. The flat nose profile transfers maximum energy upon impact while the hard cast construction maintains bullet integrity through thick hide and heavy bone structures. Law enforcement agencies also utilize this load for situations requiring barrier penetration and stopping power against large, aggressive animals.
