Anyone ever shot this is a Seecamp? Thoughts?

  1. No.
  
  2. Per the Buffalo Bore website, this puts out a 75 grain bullet at 856 fps from the Seecamp, and ran the gun fine.

  So that's maybe 15% more oomph than the Winchester Silvertips that most people run from their Seecamps. Sounds like a lot RELATIVELY speaking, but in ABSOLUTE terms, you're only talking like 20 or 30 more ft-lbs. (Compare to say, a cheap "ball" 9mm luger which puts out 300-350 ft-lbs).
  
  I don't know if its enough to damage the Seecamp, but I'd like to think the Seecamp is tough enough to handle it.
  
  In sum, maybe this is a "better" .32, but ultimately, its just a .32, which no matter how you slice it, is going to fire a pretty light bullet, pretty slowly.
  
  The "best" .32 is still going to perform worse than the WORST .380, and I think if you need more "juice" the best thing to do is to trade up calibers.
