Well I have never pulled the Underwood 200gr Hornady XTP,  However I have loaded to the 9.4 grain level of each Imr800X and LongShot.

Redline did pull some...

Thank you. That seems like an awful lot above the book. I trust you get no pressure signs. Ever shoot them in a stock Glock or 1911 barrel?

I loaded some 200 gr. XTP w/ 9.2 gr. 800x @ 1.255" COAL out of my stock G20 barrel.  No smileys but the case was very expanded.  Velocity was right around 1200 FPS. 

Here are my hottest chronographed 200 gr. GDHP loads so far (out of 4.6" G20 bbl):
9.0 gr.    800x - 1.255" - 1150 FPS
12.5 gr. AA#9 - 1.255" - 1150 FPS
8.6 gr.    LS     - 1.255" - 1100 FPS

Kevin said today these are 800-X about 8.8gr's for the numbers I got.

Just to reiterate what was loaded and tested recently based on the 200 grain loadings
Most of what I loaded and shot were from the S&W1006 and the Glock 29.

Nice. Thank you. I had enough 200 gr Gold Dots to make a ladder from 8.0-9.0 gr 800-X plus a 7.6 gr load that should be subsonic. I will shoot the subsonic one into gelatin and if I see no pressure signs on the way up, I'll shoot the 9.0 gr load into gelatin as well.

I also loaded up some 156 gr Lyman Devastators over 9.5 gr of 800-X, which ought to be a middle of the road load.
