Default 385 Grain Buffalo Bullet...know of any?

anybody ever see the old Buffalo Bullets in 385 grain? They are out of production, hoping somebody has seen some at their local gun shop. White styrofoam box with yellow label.

I have Buffalo "Bore" shells in 325 grain for my 45 Long Colt. What caliber are you looking for in 385 grain?

Why a buffalo bullet ? Why not a sabot instead?

i like the knockdown power of that bullet. typically where i hunt here, you can only see to shoot 60-70 yards. Most of the shots are taken around 30-40 yards.

Very nice! I don't think u can get any more knock down power than what u get with the buffalo. Good luck finding them an f u decide to try sabot which also has good knock down power try power belts. I'm speaking from experience.

Just to be clear here.......are you talking about Buffalo "Bore" bullets like I mentioned or are they just called "Buffalo"....??? I only ask because the 325 grain I have for my Ruger 45 LC are totally bad to the bone. And.....they have the white styrofoam box with blue/yellow label....

They were made by the Buffalo Bullet Company.
Both my dad and me shoot these. I would really like to get him a few boxes of them.

That box does look a bit different. I wonder if the company changed it to Buffalo "Bore"...???
