Default Buffalo Bore Short Barrel Lower Recoil Low Flash 357 Magnum Ammo

Having a hard time finding .357 locally or online. Buffalo Bore has .357 for sale on their website. Can I get opinions on their Short Barrel lower recoil low flash .357? Looking to use in my S&W 2.5" and 3" Revolvers. Thanks

I haven't used that particular load but BB loads good ammo. It will do what they say it will. I have never heard anyone complain about anything but the price. If there were unhappy customers you would have heard it.

I second ddixie. I have never shot that particular load but I have never heard of any complaints of the quality of BB ammo and I have never had any complaints myself, except when I came up to the cash register. Such is life.

Default Federal and Speer are more for 20 rnd boxes

With the prices all screwed up as they are. BB prices are not near as out of the question. If copper, lead and powder don't cause them to raise their prices, too. Their web-site seems to say they are trying to hold the line and 12 boxes gets free shipping. Say a couple or 4 boxes of .38spl+P or their non +P FBI rnd, the same of .357, heavy cast .44spl or .45Colt and maybe some .45Super or +P .45 AR for your 625 etc. If you really need some ammo, it beats buying some off breed ammo for a buck or more a rnd from an online or local scalper. Sorry bout the sermon. I have bought ammo from them 2 times in the past and am a satisfied customer.......

You will be good to go.
