    For those thinking he’s being dramatic: He’s passionate about what he’s doing. I get it. He doesn’t let them get off the hook by simply blaming his tools. That’s why he is, and will continue to be, successful. Also, Tim at Buffalo Bore really does listen to customers feedback. I’ve seen it myself.

    Don't ever change!!! Your tests are the best and trusted to keep the ammo manufacturers honest on what they sell us. All Underwood has to do is straighten up and fly right. It's high dollar premium ammo and should always perform as such. Hopefully they're not trying to increase their profits by scrimping on powder. Thank you T&T for catching it.

      Darwin, Underwood isn't lying about anything. They rate the 10mm with a 5" barrel (like the Bren Ten and Delta Elite). I know a lot of people don't understand that and think they should get 1300 from a G29. I've suggested to underwood more than once to list their test barrel lengths on every load. But most 10mm fans, (like the entertaining man that produces this channe) know that the 10 is rated with a 5". Believe they use a 4" for the 9x19.

    I remember when you called out Sierra for making some crappy ammo. They saw your video and they got busy making some big improvements. They went from a zero to a hero. That's the way it should be. When a high quality gun tuber, like yourself, does an ammo test that shows sup par performance, that all of us see with our own eyes, then the ammo makers need to quit making excuses and make their ammo the best it can be.

    I totally have faith in your test. I tested some Underwood 40 S&W 155 grain XTP from a full size Glock 22 and it averaged 1211 fps. The box said 1300 fps. I sent the ammo back and Underwood said they also tested it from a Glock 22 and it averaged 1232 fps and told me, the speed was adequate and would not reimburse me for my ammo. Yup, sounds like Underwood. Even at 1211 fps I think it is a good speed, but did not meet there advertised speed of 1300 fps (disappointing). I wish Underwood would be honest!

      A fully supported barrel is what I highly suspect Buffalo Bore uses. Fully supported after market barrels are readily available for a 10 MM. If I was gonna use a 10mm to hunt in a Glock ? G40 with proper recoil setup. If it didn't have a fully supported barrel, I'd put one in the G40. JMO

    I watched another video comparing 180 Buffalo Bore with 180 Underwood Ammo. The Buffalo Bore was only going 19 fee per second faster in that video. I'm going to say there's probably some inconsistency in the loading on Underwood Ammo. Some batches probably do better than others. I was kind of shocked to see that kind of a comparison between the two myself. They were using a 5-inch Rock Island Armory gun and the Underwood Ammo was shooting 1348 ft per second, I believe, and the Underwood Ammo was shooting 167 feet per second, I think. I carry the Underwood because I tried to get some 147 green 9mm through Buffalo Moore a few years back, and it was always on backorder. I just went with the Underwood Ammo stuff. I've been ordering from Underwood ever since.

I don't have a 10mm yet, but it is on my radar. Ft Lbs energy has always been important to me which is one of the primary reasons I tend to carry heavy for caliber in a quality ammo. A heavy, quality modern round will usually give you good penetration and expansion. I have seen xtps fail to expand at low velocity, in fact I think some of those tests were yours...lol. This performance was pretty awesome, and 600 pounds of energy is nuts. Thanks again!

  • @scw-di4cr
    @scw-di4cr ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Tools - I know why so much 10 MM lets you down. I am one of the few who has a pressure testing setup. I can tell you that the SAAMI max for 10 MM is 37500 psi, and it's 35,000 psi for 40 S&W. That's not much difference. The only other advantage you get from 10 MM is more case capacity -- so that if you wanted to burn more slower powder, you could fit it in. But, there are very few powders where you could slow down, fill all the extra between space between 40 and 10, and still maintain the SAAMI pressure spec. Also, the longer cartridge of 10 vs. 40 will require more powder to create the same pressure (if loading 10 to 35,000 psi for ex) and will give you a small velocity advantage for 10 MM, but not much. So, almost all of the velocity diff between 10 and 40 comes from the increased pressure between 10 and 40, and that's not much. The reason you're not seeing many mfrs with "impressive 10 MM" velocities is because they are keeping to SAAMI spec pressure or below, and they don't have the perfect powder that optimizes barrel length, cartridge length, etc. I can tell you from experience and my testing equipment that your "overperforming" brand of ammo for 10 MM is very likely over pressuring beyond SAAMI spec to get that performance -- not by an unsafe amount, but by enough that they feel comfortable there is still adequate safety margin in most gun designs (there are no 80 year old 10MM's out there). Most manufacturers aren't willing to do that, and they figure that what you call the "suboptimal 10MM performance" is plenty to get the job done. Keep up the good videos - I enjoy them.

    Underwood back some years ago in that 10mm would've been 1300 plus. They are not loading their ammo to the standards they had at one time. Like Tool's said, Buffalo Bore is and has always run top speeds on their loads. Underwood needs to reevaluate their loading process. Their full loading is what put them where they are. Loading light will definitely lose customers. I noticed loads in 9mm from a few years ago are quite a bit faster than those of today. Guess Buffalo Bore will be getting more of my business.

      @@curtis6554 Nice! I've heard good things about the Rock Island double stacks and BUL Armory options too. I've been using the CrossBreed Reckoning System for the XDM-E but just sent it back for adjustment bc they said it wasn't molded correctly... too much trigger guard was exposed. It's really comfortable and great quality with solid retention, worth checking out.

    I just tested the velocity of the Underwood 180 XTP today. I got a 5 shot average of 1328 with 705 ft. lbs. out of my new Springfield Armory Ronin 1911 5". The lowest was 1307 and the highest 1353 with an ES of 46. These felt stout! I have a Shooting Chrony- Beta for testing. From Geo Ballistics at 50 yards it calculates at 1182 fps with 558 ft. lbs. Thought you might want to know what a 5" barrel gets from these. Love the videos and the testing.

Normal everyday weather and conditions is good enough. Keep on trucking my friend. Good stuff. Thanks for your honesty and for sharing. Best test around in my opinion. Be safe. 👊⭐️🇺🇸👊🇺🇸⭐️

    Dang I just bought some of those Nosler loads, but have not chronographed them yet. I DID shoot them out of my Springfield xdm elite just as a function check and BOY was there more recoil than my handload 180 xtps that were clocking in at about 1260 fps. Now I have to run them over the chrono to see what they actually clock in at. Keep up the good work, ill let ya know my results.

    I agree that companies should be called out for not giving claimed box velocities. Sure, there are variations based on barrel length, gun, temperature, altitude, etc but it should be relative close as long as the gun is a full size. Good video! I've shot this round before through several Glock 10mm's (Underwood 180gr XTP 10mm) and it was very accurate.

  • @billyj.williams2341
    @billyj.williams2341 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like it behaves as expected.... With less stuff to delay expansion it expanded faster or at a faster rate and because that happens at a higher velocity, it fragmented a little.... While with the heavy clothing barrier, that stuff delayed expansion or kept expansion at a more manageable rate and it didn't fragment. Good stuff, especially with the XTP projectile which is a very old design.

    Thanks for sharing the data. Although the Undetwood is not as powerful as the Buffalo Bore, they are significantly cheaper just doing a quick Google search of both ammunition. I'd say that's one thing Underwood makes up for. Still would like better performance though.

    Let me start by echoing many of the comments that your content is the absolute best! I thoroughly enjoy your videos! I could use some of your insight on helping me choose which all around 10mm I should consider. I live in the Florida panhandle and go out into the woods a lot. So, I’m not encountering extremely large bear or moose or anything. Mostly hogs, black bear, and while I’ve never seen one….Large Cats. I’m running Federal HST 200gr 10mm. I know the velocity and energy aren’t as high as some like this underwood xtp, but the gel test of that HST was very impressive and even penetrated much further than the underwood and some others. Do you think I can count on that HST or should I consider something different for my purpose? Thanks again! You rock!
