Buffalo Bore Ammo vs. Corbon Ammo

[stinger 327]

This would be in the handgun calibers of .32 ACP, 9mm, .357, and .45 ACP.
Generally which brand is better? (Best reputation)
The specs. of both companies are very similiar if not the same in .45 ACP.

In my experience with both in .380acp, 9mm and .45acp, Buffalo Bore out-performed Cor-Bon in terms of penetration and bullet integrity.

Buy a box of each and find out is most accurate in your firearm.

Just because it is the best rated, hardest hitting, most expensive ammo on the market; it doesn't make it the most accurate in your firearm.

This is not meant as a slam, only another way to look at it.

Accuracy is the same.

IMHO, both are top notch. When you decide what you want the bullet to do, the decision may be easier to make.

Its just a suggestion, but, just maybe, the platform needs more thought than the loading.

You mentioned .32 ACP. Seecamp recomends WW Silvertip. My NAA Guardian plays nice with WW Silvertip, ball, or BB FP lead.

In .380, I have one one and hauled it around for several years. At that time, it was the only game in town. Ammunition was Federal Hydra-Shock, ball, Cor-Bon, and Glasers. Never shot anything more dangerous than a grasshopper. Cleaned with a rag, diesel, and fifth wheel greese. Malfunctions would happen when web/thumb got in the way of the slide. Ouch.

9X19 in the Kahr, Sig, or BHP, it doesn't make much difference. Ball or Federal 9BP or 9BPLE sems reliable so far. So does Cor-Bon 115 JHP in the Kahr K9. Jury is still out on the Colt Pocket Nine.

Reliability trumps all. Maybe thats why revolvers don't get much attention. There isn't much to write about.

I'm just guesing here, Your opinions will disagree or question. That ain't bad.

Revolvers are great too. Very reliable and dependable not ammo dependant.

Corbon is grossly overrated in my experience, it's also grossly overpriced! I've never seen more grimy, dirty, ugly looking brass from any other manufacturer, then that produced by corbon....Seriously, it often has the appearence of floor ammo....

One thing is for sure $29.41 for a box of 20 .45 ACP is too expensive especially if it has not been proven the performance is way above other manufacturers.
Their latest copper DPX? bullet is way over priced.

Both companies make good ammo. Just try a couple of boxes of each and use the one your gun likes best.

I have tried both and the BB has more recoil in .357 125 grain and .32 ACP.
Some of the other same calibers and same weights of both companies have the same weights and velocities no difference.

The Corbon is the easier of the two ammos to find for purchase in a gun store.
