By popular demand, Buffalo Bore is introducing five new .38 Super +P loads. With three different expanding loads and two penetrating loads, we have covered the basis of anything you'd like to accomplish with the .38 Super +P cartridges. These are full power .38 Super +P loads. All five of these loads feature flash suppressed powders, so the shooter will not be blinded if firing in low light. Feeding, function, and accuracy were very good in all three of our test pistols.
