Buffalo Bore 380 ACP +P 100gr Hard Cast FN Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Buffalo Bore 27A20 Personal Defense ammunition transforms the modest .380 ACP into a serious defensive cartridge through +P pressures and hard cast flat nose projectiles. This load delivers maximum penetration and energy transfer from compact pistols where shot placement and barrier penetration matter most.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard .380 ACP loads that often struggle with adequate penetration, this +P configuration pushes a 100-grain hard cast flat nose bullet to velocities that exceed typical hollow point performance. The flat nose design creates larger wound channels while the hard cast construction ensures consistent penetration through heavy clothing, wallboard, and intermediate barriers. Buffalo Bore's reputation for maximum pressure loadings means this cartridge operates at the upper limits of SAAMI specifications.

Key Features

• 100-grain hard cast flat nose bullet for deep, straight-line penetration
• +P pressure loading increases velocity over standard .380 ACP by approximately 150 fps
• Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and provide smooth feeding
• Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
• Compatible with all .380 ACP firearms rated for +P pressures
• 20-round boxes allow for complete magazine loadouts in most compact pistols
• Manufactured to match-grade tolerances for consistent performance

This ammunition excels in situations requiring maximum penetration from a compact platform. The hard cast projectile maintains structural integrity through automotive glass, heavy clothing, and building materials that cause hollow points to clog or fragment. Law enforcement backup gun applications benefit from the enhanced terminal performance, while concealed carriers gain confidence in barrier-blind penetration. The flat nose design transfers energy efficiently while creating temporary wound cavities larger than round nose alternatives.
