    I purchased 10mm auto Buffalo Bore ammo through ********** (a sporting good supplier). Buffalo Bore's website advertises the ammo as being "designed for all 10mm pistols that are in ordinary working condition". I have 2 new hanguns (Sig 320 and ***** and Wesson M&P). Both handguns are chambered for 10MM and are from reputable manufacturers. The ammunition demonstrated eccessive pressure by blowing primers in both guns. This creates a potential danger to both the firearm and the person firing it. Blown primers are a well known danger sign of pressure problems. When I contacted Buffalo Bore (**) about the issue, the owner made every attempt to blame the problem on the firearms and not the ammo. I explained that I had purchased several other brands of high performance ammuniton and fired them without problem through both guns. i even provided photographic evidence of all this to the owner of **...it didnt matter, he pretty much blamed everything except the ammo. I am an experienced shooter, ammunition reloader and engineer. Mr. ******** position on this issue is suprisingly arrogant and a little reckless. I found other complaints of the same ammo related problem on line. This ammo is falsly advertised as safe on the ** website and they should refund my money. Actually, the money isnt really that important as is the principle that Mr. ****** brushed off the significance of this issue and probably should provide warnings or remove the product from his site.
