This 130gr., hard cast, 327 Federal load is the direct result of customer-request for such a load. It is designed primarily as an 'outdoor' load as it penetrates deeply and does not expand. It will perforate a large bear's skull and will also serve well for any application that requires very deep penetration. This load utilizes flash suppressed powder, so the shooter will not be blinded by his own gunfire should he need to fire in low light situations.
As always, Buffalo Bore uses stock over-the-counter firearms to determine our published velocities, so the shooter will know what to expect in the real world. The industry-wide practice of using extra-long laboratory test barrels, that generate unrealistic and exaggerated velocities, is dishonest to the customer. The below velocities were fired from my personal stock, out-of-the-box revolvers.
? 1,450 fps—USFA Sparrow Hawk, 7.5-inch barrel
? 1,391 fps—Ruger Black Hawk, 5.5-inch barrel
