While we are talking about +P loads in the Kel-Tec, have any of you boys shot any of the Buffalo Bore loads? I have looked at all of the various load tests posted here for various bullets and loadings, but I did not find anything on the Buffalo Bore 100 grain flat nose, or the 90 grain HP. I found tests for everything else though.
Those loads make the little .380 auto perform like a 9mm in standard loads, or so they claim anyway. I had two boxes (100 grain FP and 90 grain HP) come today from Cabela's, but have not had a chance to fire them yet. I'll rig up the chronograph and take all of this to the range first chance I get and let you boys know what it says.
If any of you have shot this Buffalo Bore ammo, I'd sure appreciate hearing what you have to say about these loadings in the Kel-Tec. If the ballastics are anywhere near what Buffalo Bore claims, they will make the Kel-Tec .380 one nasty little pocket pistol.
It won't make it a .45 ACP, but it'll make me feel a little better when carrying it. The first rule of gun fighting is to have a gun. I ALWAYS have the .380 because anything larger is just too dam big and heavy for daily carry. When I know I'm going to be out late, I take a real pistol, but the Kel-Tec is ALWAYS along too simply because I don't even know I have it. Is this one fine little pocket pistol or WHAT?
