All I care about is that the load functions reliably and penetrates animal skulls.
I think the problem is that the market I represent, folks wanting to shoot through animal skulls with a service pistol, is probably big enough to sell about twenty boxes of twenty a year. So they have to jazz it up, making these solid penetrating bullets neatly as powerful as a small nuke.
Considering quality and desiring reliable function, would folks be more inclined to buy the Underwood or Lehigh loaded cartridge with these same bullets?
I looked at both and elected to try the Underwood. They are a smidgen less expensive, but use nickel cases over brass. They do post higher velocity on their site. I ran some of mine through a chronograph (weapon is a Glock 40). The owner emailed me back with answers to my questions and seemed user friendly.
The results:
1537
1525
1513
1523
1494
1503
1473
1457
1515

I'm all for testing them against barriers, but I haven't seen anyone agree on what best replicates an animal skull. Or what kind of test would give an idea of performance with large man-eating critters?
On a side note, I have been looking for over a year and cannot find the Federal 10mm JSP Trophy Bonded ammo. I'd love to see how it does too.
