Ted Nugent Ammo180 JHP pull-down

[The_Shadow]

The Ted Nuget ammo site listed it as UniCor, however it looks like the Gold Dot HP...Speer did get on some of the companies about using the Gold Dot name in their ammo discription.  Speer used to list a UniCor type of bullet aswell but it is not shown on the current site.

We created the first bonded-core handgun bullet. Using our proven Uni-Cor technology, we bond the copper jacket to the lead core one molecule at a time. We've virtually wiped out the cause of most bullet failures - core-jacket separation. In the process, we've assured high retained weights and excellent penetration. Most bullet makers add the hollow point cavity at the very last operation. This is not very smart if you want premium performance. We, however, form the cavity in two distinct steps. The first cavity operation establishes the limit of maximum expansion--a bullet isn't very effective if it rolls back so far that it falls apart--and precuts both the jacket and the core for symmetrical expansion. The final cavity operation establishes the rate of expansion. The flexibility of this two-step proces lets us tune each bullet to its intended velocity range. Bullets for low-velocity cartridges have a deep cavity; those for high-velocity have a shallow cavity. We put a lot into Gold Dot. Accuracy. Penetration. Incredible terminal performance.

The numbers are similar to my home defense load (180gr @ 1260fps) out of a 4.6" barrel.  Though I use Longshot.

It seems like a decent mid range load, probably not too much recoil, but enough power to take down anything that needs it.

We figure Big Ted's dust out yet?

Ought to be a good one. I tested a 180 gr Gold Dot at 1,317 fps and got 11.25" of penetration so backing off by 60-80 fps theoretically ought to nudge that over the 12" mark.

Don't know what happened in the Ted Nugent Ammo test today but the CHRONY gave a 480 fps recording (bad reading)  , however I know the velocity had to be more than what was shown...SORRY about that!

[REDLINE]

Do you recall that the recoil felt as you'ld have expected for normal velocity?

[The_Shadow]

Yes, the recoil was normal and what I expected, I would say the velocity was probably in the 1200 + range.  Abnormal chrony reading probably... :'(

[Intercooler]

Did you fire any of the others?

[The_Shadow]

Updated all of the 10mm ammo pages as tested and all of the 10mm ammo tested today was shown on your retest page.

[Intercooler]

I'm putting #7 on the sheet unless you changed your mind.

So...this is akin to an Underwood Delta elite load. It makes sense because Nugent would want this ammo to be safely fired from the Colt pistols.

The price at Cabelas was pretty good if I recall. Just checked, $19.99, which is okay I guess..

[Intercooler]

$1 a round. Not the best value but DT is much worse 

[4949shooter]

I was at Cabelas today and picked up the last box of Nuge. Has anybody chronoed this out of a Glock?

[Intercooler]

Not Glock. I did my Match and traded David some but he hasn't done them yet.

[4949shooter]

Okay thanks.
