The Underwood Xtreme penetrator is advertised as 1,500 fps. These were the first three shots, and I was surprised by how slow the average velocity was, 1,340 fps.

I decided to shoot a few more rounds, and they felt noticeably faster. So I shot seven more rounds and they averaged 1,423 fps. Clusterfrack had recently experienced significant variation with two copper bullets in his 10mm, so this got me wondering.
Then I shot five Underwood coated hard cast, and these didn't have as big a variation in velocity.
Lee liquid Alox: heat the bottle in hot water, apply a few drops to bullets in container, tumble, let dry on wax paper.
