Buffalo Bore 180 grain 357 magnum hard cast vs Underwood, featuring the Rossi 92 lever action rifle

Buffalo Bore 180 grain 357 magnum hard cast vs Underwood 180 grain 357 magnum hard cast chronograph test with the 20" barrel of the Rossi 92 lever gun.

Although BB was higher in velocity! They're also significantly more expensive, and on the receiving end, that extra velocity won't make any difference! I'll stick with Underwood!✌️

This is awesome because I went with Underwood in a 20” Henry. That Buffalo Bore is cooking.

[@vlogfriendsutopia]

Been waiting for this one. I definitely want to see more Buffalo Bore 357 from the 20 inch barrel, as that's what I have.

[@Valorius]

It's great to see you posting again man. Really good test. I'm very surprised how much hotter the Buffalo Bore was than the Underwood. Although the Underwood was legitimately hot too

[@GeographyCzar]

Thank you!

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍Thanks Dave, appreciate the test

[@GeographyCzar]

Any time, thanks for the comment!

BB 180 Grain XTP’s out of the same lever is an amazing combo. Expensive ammo but worth it since I’m not a reloader.

Great video, thanx for the trip, Rossie also made the 92 in 480 ruger, 100 of em world wide, I sent mine to Alaskan ballistics The shots fired video is up under 454 casull vs 480 ruger Using underwood penitrators. ... I Got 357 revolvers, If I were to shoot 357 outa rifle I would load those 357 bullets into a 35 whelen case, haven't tried it yet, I think I would have to do a duplex load of X brand rifle powder And trail boss, or black powder to fill in the empty space,,,, and keep the velocities under 2000 fps Because I think I have enuf guns..

I've done the Very same Underwood vs. Buffalo Bore comparison, Dave, with similar velocity and energy results, and I'm sticking with Underwood. It's good fodder for both short and long guns, but I don't like this Buffalo Bore loading in a short gun.

Straight from Buffalo Bore's website: _Our 357 mag. ammo adds more power than ever before to the 357 Mag. This ammo is safe to shoot in ANY all steel 357 revolver - this includes J frames. This ammo is no harder on your gun than any other normal 357 ammo. Please don't phone or email us and ask if this ammo is safe in your gun. It is, providing your gun is in a safe condition for use with any normal 357 ammo._

@@exothermal.sprocket You may have noticed there's no mention of the effect on hands compromised by arthritis. I've experienced the effect.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@noahcount7132 Correct. You didn't mention it either 😁

[@44SWAGNUM-MAGA5]

i have my gaming headphones on and man that buffalo bore roars alot more

[@GeographyCzar]

Yes! I could feel the difference! It's silly to talk about recoil from a PCC, but... those Buffalo Bore actually do kick just a bit, lol!

[@makwaclaw6124]

What has happened with Underwood ammo? They used to load there ammo super hot like Buffalo bore.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Beats me. Underwood does semi-auto stuff a bit hotter than Buffalo, and Buffalo does rimmed stuff a bit hotter than Underwood. I would not assume Buffalo Bore is overpressure or harmful. _Our 357 mag. ammo adds more power than ever before to the 357 Mag.

I'm so confused why your data always seems so low compared to other videos I've seen on other videos

[@Steve-yo4ld]

Each firearm is different, plus many other factors affect velocity! However, they're not far off!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Hard to beat 1,451 ft-lb energy from .357magnum for a handy, smallish sized cartridge. And 10 of those puppies in a rifle. They'll penetrate just as deep as a .44 magnum 260gr loaded hot. As some have said, Buffalo Bore does revolver cartridges better than Underwood, and Underwood does semi-auto cartridges better than Buffalo Bore.

Good sasquatch hunting load!

[@GeographyCzar]

YAS!!

[@justingilmer3642]

Very impressive! Can you tell me the overall length of the cartridges? My Rossi has had trouble cycling some longer ammo, and I don’t want to buy any if it won’t work.

[@GeographyCzar]

Standard lengths for 38 special and 357 magnum are 29.3mm and 33mm respectively. I haven't bothered to check the test rounds against the specs for their calibers, but it's interesting you bring it up, because my brother felt that this gun cycled 38s better than .357 when he owned it. He used to reload 38 shells to 357 pressures to maximize performance. I think the 158 grain Underwood hard cast 38 Special +P load gives enough performance out of this gun. The 180 grain Buffalo Bore 357 absolutely stomp!

[@johnrush7699]

I have the Ruger Blackhawk 357 and the Henry big boy 357. I would like to know where I can find and purchase this ammo. I have been to every gun shop in my area and can't find it anywhere. If you or anyone else know how I can find it all help will be greatly appreciated

[@Steve-yo4ld]

Direct from the Manufacturer!✌️

[@GeographyCzar]

Hi John Rush, I usually get them from Midwayusa.com, but @Steve-yo4ld is also correct, underwoodammo.com and buffalobore.com
