Best 10mm round from Underwood.....

Trying to place an order with Underwood and I have a few questions about which bullets to get. Im leaning towards 155 grain or 135 grain. A few questions I have are....

1. What does "bonded" bullets offer that regular jacketed hollow points dont?

2. Does the size of the projectile determine or effect chambering and reliability?

3. What is your favorite 10mm Jacketed Hollow Point

1. Bonded bullets mean the jacket is "bonded" to the lead core. This helps prevent the jacket from separating. Keeping the mass of the projectile intact helps with penetration and makes a larger wound channel.

2. The shape of the projectile is more important to chambering than the weight.

3. I shoot hogs with SIG V Crown and they drop like they were smitten by the lord himself.


Underwood makes good stuff, but my LGS has cases of SIG V Crown.

I’m new to the 10mm world and I have also looked into Underwood Ammo. I’m still confused which would be best. I’m curious as to what others around here have to say about them.
So far the only two brands I’ve tried are Freedom Munitions (range ammo), it’s cheap and works well. Not one misfire.
The other is Sig VCrown 180gr. It had a noticeable difference in recoil but was consistently accurate. I didn’t do any testing but the groupings were impressive.
As far as bonded ammo, you can read this from Winchester Ammo.

One thing to consider is penetration or over penetration.
You are legally responsible for every round you fire.
If a round passes through the bad guy and hits a bystander, you are going to be charged.
