Interesting! So this one had .4gr's less powder. If it had 12.6 instead, that might make actual rating?

Thanks for doing the pulldown!  Second on the wondering if this was loaded at the last one that was pulled down, if it'd hit advertised velocity.

Holy crap!  I can't watch the video right now...was that my ammo or something different from Underwood?

Also, I just noticed...the thread title and OP have a type in them.  The stuff I sent isn't the Xtreme Penetrator, it's the Xtreme Defender.  The XP is 140gr, the XD is 115gr (at least at the time of this posting).

No Chucky it was not your ammo that blew, just some other UW like it...  Bullet was undersize and had setback that led to blowout failure.
