This was a higher charge than the FMJ, but a little slower than it is with BE-86?
Does anyone know how the ballistics on this new V-Crown compares with the 180 gr offerings from Underwood (https://www.underwoodammo.com/10mm-auto-180-grain-bonded-jacketed-hollow-point/) or HPR (http://www.hprammo.com/catalog/jhp/10mm-29/)?

I'm liking these more and more, especially considering the price and relative availability. Might have to snag some next time I swing by Cabela's just for fun. Thanks Shadow.
