[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3259065, member: 40561"] For cheap...its fun to have. I'm not sure what good some of the Buffalo Bore is though. I've got a few boxes of the .380 hard cast which arent any good for self defense as they get something like 40" of penetration and no expansion....and dont carry enough mass for any real hunting....and its a waste to just target shoot with them....so they just sit :D [I][B][U]"The results: extreme overpenetration.
