What do you think from the new info? Has Underwood pulled the power plug? Headed down to the land of the rest of the 10mm makers. I would say that if so it was a matter of both product and economics. Components are still not something your guaranteed to have coming your way on a consistent plan. Not now anyway. So you use what you can and produce what you can sell.

REDLINE

Not based on what I've seen so far.  It's seems his 200gr XTP loads are still easily doing 1250 FPS.  We have seen an adjustment in powder charge from a load or two, but not sure to what extent it's changing anything.  Some of the time the UW loads were going faster than advertised, so I suspect they're either going to still hit what's always been advertised, or pretty close if not.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

Redline I hope you are right.I am just afraid he will have to scale back on power to match components available or be forced too over people going crazy if they get a smile on their brass. I have a lot of the Ammo in different loads from 155 to 220 andhave never had a problem but that does not mean it cannot happen to me tomorrow. What I like is the freedom to use full power ammo and blow my gun up if I so chose. Now the common sense quote.I do not want to blow my gun or me up but you have to believe a product being sold to shoot will do just hat safely. We buy cars that run 200mph but most do not have the skill to drive it there. Still does not mean they can not make it for you to burn the road down if you choose.Common sense disclaimer.I do not drive that way not to kill me but not to kill you. If we all would just use even a little common sense the world would improve 10 fold.

I'm thinking U\W is finding a balance for real 10 that produces.

DAVIDF

Agreed, although I only have experience with 2 of his loads. But the 180 gr TMJ have been super accurate. I think it is a great balance of power and accuracy.

Kevin isn't changing across the board yet. He said I can save my money retesting everything  ;)

You listening psa???

To me Intercooler that is good to know. I for one hope he leaves it where its at. If ou do not like it do not buy it. If you want Federal or Remington buy them. I hope we all get to the point we can buy what we want. That would be a nice thought instead of having to search for anything we can find.

  Kevin will be The Top Dog again when he makes some changes. Those are coming and they will be the strongest out there plus everything else to go with it. We will still have platforms out there that really shouldn't be running the top of the heap though yet people will.

If the ammo is not made for a certain gun it should say so on the box. Then if you blow yourself up do not take the government line and say the government should protect me from myself. If you are weak in the gene pool you need eliminated and usually you will eliminate yourself by doing something stupid. gonna be stupid gotta be tough.

So they are increasing the loads again?

  Down the road they will after some R&D work in 2014. It's won't be an across the board thing but those needing it will be changed and the spreads reduced.

2014 is a long way off.  With how quickly he took off as a company I personally would revamp my lineup a little faster to ensure I was the best option available so someone else with a similar mindset as him didn't sweep in and take his place at the top.

   Only 6 months away but currently I don't see anyone other than PBR that could via for it. Buffalo Bore has shrunk it's line-up with no new offerings, Double Tap has a good assortment but the cost and performance are strikes and nothing left. If Anthony adds the 155 he has slated and changes the bullet selection it would be hard to beat!  Underwood and PBR going forward are going to sell more 10mm ammo than I bet the other two combined.

What type of bullet is Anthony looking at for the 155's?
