Please bear with me as I'm trying to learn more about various loads.
I've heard through the "internet grapevine" that some of the offerings from BB may be right at, or above SAAMI specs. I don't want to unnecessarily beat my guns up, or myself. Would not be a steady diet of the .357 or .44 top level loads for the guns that I do have.
Thanks

The only load from Buffalo Bore for the .44 Mag that I know of that is of a higher pressure level is the 340 grain .44 Mag load. That said, it is listed as a +P+ load. What are you shooting? If you have Rugers, I personally wouldn't be concerned. I have found Buffalo Bore ammo to be first rate.

Super Redhawk Toklat, Super Blackhawk, S&W .357 L-Frame and 3 additional Smith $ Wessons I wouldn't shoot BB in anyway, 2 Model 29s and a Model 19

The BB 180 in 357 has done no harm to my SP101 or wifes mod.19,very good ammo. I also have used BB 44mag,45colt and 454 with zero problems.All Rugers except for the mod.19. As far as I;ve seen Tim also states if a round should not be used in certain guns.
Enjoying to circle of life

At the price of BB I don't think you'll shoot enough to wear out your gun.
That said, I stand by BB, have used his heavy load in .45 Colt, .454 and .475. BB can get velocities and accuracy with the .45 Colt 325 gr LFNGC that I cannot duplicate safely by handloading. Read the product description for caliber and proceed accordingly.
Practice Perfect

Over the years I been a big Buffalo Bore fan. Lately I am starting to see Underwood Ammo duplicating Buffalo Bores loads at sometimes half the price.
