Why This Load Works

The semi-wadcutter profile serves double duty. The sharp shoulder cuts clean holes for precise shot placement, while the hollow point provides reliable expansion on impact. The gas check prevents leading in your barrel, keeping your firearm clean and extending its service life. At 1160 fps, this load achieves supersonic velocity—important for suppressor use if that's part of your setup.

Quality You Can Trust

Underwood manufactures this ammunition to strict standards using non-corrosive, boxer-primed components. The nickel-plated brass resists corrosion and cycles smoothly through your revolver or semi-automatic pistol. Best of all, the cases are reloadable, making this an economical choice for shooters who reload.

Whether you're training, hunting, or preparing for self-defense, this is ammunition built for reliable performance.
