Buffalo Bore Ammunition Outdoorsman 40 S&W 200 Grain Hardcast Flat Nose 20RD

Buffalo Bore Ammunition's Outdoorsman line in 40 S&W 200 grain hardcast flat nose is built for hunters and field shooters who need reliable, hard-hitting performance when it matters. This 40 S&W ammo loads a heavy 200-grain hardcast projectile—more mass and penetration than standard velocity rounds—making it a solid choice for medium game hunting, backcountry defense, or anyone who wants substantial stopping power from their pistol. Each box contains 20 rounds, giving you a practical field quantity.

The hardcast bullet construction is the key here. Unlike jacketed rounds, hardcast bullets resist deformation and deliver deep, straight-line penetration through heavy bone, brush, and thick hides—exactly what you want when hunting or facing unpredictable field conditions. The flat nose profile aids that penetration and generates reliable stopping power without requiring hollow-point expansion.

Buffalo Bore has built a reputation on producing ammunition that works in real-world scenarios, not just on the range. Their Outdoorsman series reflects that ethos: no compromise, no marketing fluff, just effective field ammunition backed by a maker who understands what hunters and defensive shooters actually need.
