I put a 20 round box of Buffalo Bore 100 grain hard cast ammo through my G42 today. I'd read that it offered some impressive velocities, and it certainly did. I bought three boxes of it on sale at a LGS for $19.95 per box. Pretty good deal if I do so say so myself.
Velocity averaged 1100 fps, about 50 less than advertised by Buffalo Bore, but still impressive for a 100 grain bullet.
I've shot hand loads through my G42 along with WWB, and all shot center mass at ten yards with respectable accuracy.
I found that the Buffalo Bore was low and left. Not sure if I was off today or what, but I kept working my sight picture until I was still left but Doing s bit better with elevation. Range was about ten yards, probably the max I would feel comfortable with a .380.
Lastly, I had a total of 2 failures to feed. The first had the slide lock back and the round after that was stuck against the feed ramp and I had to drop the mag to clear it.
Closing thoughts: Buffalo Bore......it's a tossup for me.
