The Buffalo Bore 27B20 is built for people who carry pocket-sized 380s but refuse to compromise on performance. This load pushes a 95-grain full metal jacket flat nose bullet at 1150 fps, which is genuinely serious velocity for the caliber. The flat nose design cuts a wider wound channel than a round nose FMJ while the +P loading wrings every ounce of power from your tiny pistol.
Buffalo Bore didn't make this ammunition to be a range toy or a second choice. The design specifically addresses the age-old knock on the 380, which is that it can feel underpowered when your life depends on it. This load pairs velocity with a bullet that creates a larger wound cavity than standard FMJ rounds. You get 279 foot-pounds of energy and penetration that stops short of over-penetration concerns, all from a round that actually runs reliably in tiny single-action blowback pistols.
The 27B20 uses a jacketed bullet instead of hard cast lead, which means less friction in the barrel and faster velocities than Buffalo Bore's comparable hard cast offerings. Some people prefer this because it's cleaner to shoot, easier to clean afterward, and performs with consistent results across different barrel lengths. The 95-grain weight hits a sweet spot between energy and controllability in pocket guns where every recoil management detail matters.
Buffalo Bore uses flash suppressed powder in all their 380 loads, which matters when you consider that most defensive situations happen in low light. Brass cases mean you can reload this ammo if you're set up for it. Each box holds 20 rounds.
Buffalo Bore has tested this load in numerous compact and pocket 380 models and reports reliable function. That said, no SAAMI standard exists for 380 +P ammunition, so you should check your specific pistol's manual or contact the manufacturer if you have concerns about using +P loads. Gun makers often issue warnings against non-SAAMI loads to protect themselves legally, even when extensive testing shows reliability.
The flat nose increases the frontal area of the bullet and creates a larger wound cavity than a round nose FMJ of the same caliber. It won't expand like a hollow point, but it punches a wider hole through tissue. This is why flat nose designs have been used in hunting for decades and work well for deep penetration in defensive applications.
This is a +P load running at 1150 fps with 279 foot-pounds of energy, which puts it in a different ballistic class than conventional 380 ammo. Buffalo Bore also uses flash suppressed powder so you won't be blinded by your own muzzle flash in a low-light situation, and the 95-grain jacketed bullet delivers consistent performance across different barrel lengths.
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. That said, ammo designed for +P pressures requires careful attention to reloading procedures and appropriate dies. If you reload, follow established data for 380 +P cartridges and work up your loads carefully.
