Underwood 10mm 155 XTP loads

[Jared Hensley]

Wow.  Shot a magazine full of these in my Gen 4 Glock 20 yesterday.  Accurate as heck but they sure do generate some recoil!  I don't own a chrono but Underwood advertises the velocity at 1500 fps. Any of you have experience with other Underwood loads for the 10mm, especially the heavier bullets?

There are a lot of Underwood fans here. Never chrono'd any but have never been disappointed.

Underwood is great ammo for the 10mm.  Never chrono'd either but 10mm definitely has a bang.  Enjoy my Gen4 G20 a lot.

Shot another box of the same loads today.  Love this stuff.  Checked all the shell casings for anything unusual.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  Will be buying more of this ammo.  Maybe 180 grain as well.

Yeah I have a lot of the 180 XTP and never had an issue.  Good stuff.  I've shot some Atlanta Arms 10mm also and have had pretty good success with it.

I shoot 200gn hard cast Underwood in my 20. It is very accurate! I have not observed any leading. When I back up to about 30yds from the target board, I can hear the SMACK of that slug hitting the board, lol. I've never chronoed it, but I know it hits hard. The accuracy amazes me.

I carry it as my "woods gun".

Are you shooting out of the stock barrel?

Yes. Here's a thread that helped me make that decision. I've not had any evidence of leading yet. I may get an aftermarket at some point for the fun of it, but the stock bbl has been fine and EXTREMELY accurate.
