Item 4B (300gr. JFN) is designed for super deep penetration at revolver speeds but will mushroom and penetrate less deeply at rifle speeds. At handgun speeds, you can expect a solid 3 feet of penetration in muscle and bone and at rifle, expect roughly 2 feet of penetration in muscle and bone. At handgun velocities, this bullet will act just like Item 4A in living tissue. The greater velocities generated by the longer barrel of the rifle will cause the bullet to mushroom and that large mushroom will make a much bigger diameter hole in tissue, but that frontal area on the mushroomed bullet will cut down the depth of penetration.
As always, Buffalo Bore uses real, over-the-counter firearms to determine our published, real-world velocities. We prefer not to follow the industry-wide, duplicitous practice of using extra long laboratory test barrels to generate exaggerated velocities that the ammo user will seldom if ever see. With Buffalo Bore you will know what velocity your ammunition is generating in the real world, where it matters.
Note: This ammunition is recommended for all STEEL revolvers and rifles on today’s market. It is NOT suitable for scandium or aluminum alloy revolvers.
This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.
