Besides, .... that buffalo bore felt like trying to stop a baseball bat swung by a grown man with your palm.
I disagree, it may be Buffalo Bore velocity but not power. You may need 8.0gr HS-6 to match the velocity BB is generating but they are not using HS-6, they are using a blended powder that is supposedly within the SAAMI pressure limits. I'm 100% sure a charge of 8.0gr HS-6 in a .38 Special case is well over the SAAMI limits of 20,000 PSI. In reality I have my doubts about 7.2gr HS-6.
