Underwood 180 GDHP and Delta Elite GDHP up

The DE load shows Nosler when you click for more info, and it says nothing about "bonded"

The full power load shows "Speer Bonded"  and I assume that is the Gold Dot.

I see. Not my cup of tea and I haven't purchased any. Nosler it is!

Just purchased some they are noslers. But i have a stash of the gold dot de loads.

Shot 30 of these today. That's some sexy brass these are loaded in.

Got mine yesterday. Will be going to the range this  afternoon. Going to fire two magazines worth to ensure they will cycle and the mags are still good. Then I'll shoot some TMJ.

Based on advertised speed only what real difference(s) does 60fps make? Recoil, bulges, expansion, penetrating.....?

One guys opinion; 5% difference in initial fps likely to have:
Negligible effect on recoil
The initial lower velocity of the Gold Dot very likely to reduce projectile expansion a bit thus increase penetration (gel).
Bulges - Wouldn't anticipate any difference if shooting 1240 or 1300 fps ammo in ramped, full case supported firearms BUT as has been well documented by others in this thread; firing 1300fps 180gr ammo out of firearm like Colt D. E....difference of 60 extra fps could lead to catastrophic failure.

To me the recoil feels a little lighter.

The same difference as standing a few feet farther away, as that is all that takes to loose those 60 fps.
