Never heard of the ammo.  But, like the ted nugent stuff or the troy landry alligator hunter rimfire bullets, is probably just some licensed namesake collector box.

However, my opinion of the motorbike customizer is that he should stick to motorcycles.  It's probably better that I just leave it at that.  He hasn't done anything that has impressed me one bit, and quite to the contrary.

Yeah, that is not surprising to me at all.  And really pathetic.  That's down into subsonic levels and weaker than .40 S&W levels too.

Yep.  Loaded exactly to Underwood 40 S&W 180 grain JHP specs.

A handloader could probably get another 50 fps in 40 S&W using longshot.

10mm should be at least 1250 fps on the conservative side, and ideally over 1300 for boutique/max handloads.
