Buffalo Bore Ammunition “Personal Defense – Strictly Business” .38 Super +P 147gr JHP — Product Overview

Item/SKU: 33E20 | UPC: 651815033051 | Pack: 20 rounds/box, 12 boxes/case

The Buffalo Bore Ammunition Personal Defense “Strictly Business” load in .38 Super +P with a 147-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) projectile is a centerfire handgun cartridge categorized by the manufacturer within its personal-defense line. This product is identified by item 33E20 with UPC 651815033051. Packaging is listed as 20 rounds per box and 12 boxes per case, totaling 240 rounds per case.

Cartridge: .38 Super +P

The .38 Super cartridge is used in select semi-automatic pistol platforms and is often associated with higher-velocity performance relative to some other handgun cartridges, depending on the load and barrel length. This product is labeled +P, indicating elevated pressure characteristics compared with standard-pressure loads.

For safe use, users should confirm:

  • The firearm is chambered specifically for .38 Super

  • The firearm manufacturer approves the use of .38 Super +P ammunition

  • The pistol is in good mechanical condition (springs, extractor, locking surfaces)

  • Magazines are appropriate and reliable for the platform

Because chamber support, feed ramp geometry, and platform strength can vary—especially among older pistols—compatibility verification is important.

Projectile: 147gr Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP)

This load uses a 147-grain JHP bullet. In many handgun cartridges, 147-grain projectiles represent a heavier-for-caliber option and may influence:

  • Recoil impulse characteristics

  • Velocity behavior from shorter vs. longer barrels

  • Point-of-impact relative to fixed sights

  • Cycling feel in certain pistols depending on spring rates and tuning

Real-world results vary by firearm design and ammunition lot, so function testing is recommended.

“Personal Defense – Strictly Business” Labeling

The manufacturer places this load within a personal defense category. Users evaluating defensive ammunition typically focus on:

  • Feeding, extraction, and ejection consistency in their specific pistol

  • Reliability across multiple magazines

  • Accuracy and point-of-impact at practical distances

  • Controllability and consistent return-to-sight-picture during rapid strings

Because reliability is platform-dependent, users often test a representative quantity before relying on a specific load.

Packaging Details

  • Rounds per box: 20

  • Boxes per case: 12

  • Total rounds per case: 240

This packaging format can be useful for inventory tracking and lot management, especially when users want to keep training and carry ammunition consistent within a given lot.

Compatibility and Safety Considerations

With +P ammunition, users should consider:

  • Increased wear on recoil springs and related components over time

  • The importance of maintaining the firearm according to manufacturer schedules

  • Monitoring for abnormal pressure signs or function irregularities

  • Consulting a qualified armorer if the pistol exhibits inconsistent cycling or excessive battering

If any unusual behavior occurs, discontinue use and verify firearm condition and ammunition suitability.

Storage and Handling Notes

To maintain ammunition integrity:

  • Store in a cool, dry environment

  • Keep in original packaging when possible for lot identification

  • Avoid exposure to oils, solvents, and moisture

  • Avoid repeatedly chambering the same cartridge (where applicable), as bullet setback can occur and can affect pressure characteristics
