Underwood 10mm

[SandHill]

Is Underwood's 10mm ever on sale? I mean, I know its priced really well to start with. If it never goes on sale, I will still buy it. But if they have sales form time to time I would like to know about it so I can stock up accordingly. I have never seen a sale from them.

I haven't followed it lately. IIRC, they used to have modest sales from time to time, a couple bucks off a box of 50. Also as coachry indicated, occasionally free shipping?

[billped]

C'mon, just buy it! :-)

I need to get some as well, perhaps we could go in on a larger quantity if that will lower the cost. I probably need 500-1000 rounds.

If you're focused on reasonable priced self defense rounds, 10mm is not a good place to start looking. Demand is low and supply follows. Only Glock and Kimber make 10mm on the roster.

Underwood had free shipping over the Labor Day holiday. This pushed me to place an order for some 10mm. Maybe Halloween or Pre-election free shipping deal?

I can't answer your Underwood question. But, I offer that if you want inexpensive ammo, reload your own. You can buy the best bullets available and reload them to the speeds addressed in reloading manuals. Good luck with your quest for sale ammunition.

You're not wrong, but this is irrelevent here b/c Underwood doesn't just sell to California. 10mm is also coming back into popularity among those looking for wrist breaking recoil. If that's your thing, there are only a few manufacturers that load 10mm to anything close to what it was intended - DoubleTap, Underwood, Buffalo Bore...

The last free shipping was at the end of August.

They send a few offers every month if you are on their mailer.

True.

It's been pretty well established that Underwood uses Hi-Skor 800X shotgun powder in all of their 10mm loads. Use new Starline brass and work up your loads in accordance with best practices and you can replicate their ballistics for a given projectile.

Longshot powder is more stable from a pressure standpoint, meters much better than 800X, and will get you very close to the same ballistics.

FWIW, maxing out 10mm loads is mostly an academic achievement with questionable safety margins. Simply backing off by 150fps from nuclear is much easier on all your equipment (brass included) and stays away from crazy high-end pressure phenomena, while still smashing things downrange just fine.

Buy in large quantities, and Walla! instant discount

As mentioned above, they have a free shipping promo at least once a month (including one today), there's no reason to ever pay for shipping with Undwerwood as long as you time it right. Sign up for their mailing list, don't worry they won't spam you.

Thanks, Jdigi!

As for some other replies, its pretty interesting the answers you get to questions not asked. "If you're focused on reasonable priced self defense rounds, 10mm is not a good place to start looking." Thanks for that pearl of wisdom! Um.....no, I am not focused on that here. I have lots of other options for that.

I know I should roll my own for 10mm, but it ain't happening any time soon. I have been running Sig Sauer 180 FMJ out of my G20SF. They clock at 1250 fps for about 625 muzzle energy. Not bad! Best of all, if you buy them at Cabelas right now, on sale, 10% off, free shipping, use gift cards from eBay and use ActiveJunky, you can get them for under 30 cpr shipped!

Underwood has some 180's that run 1300 fps, but they are 62 cpr even with free shipping today. Hard to see the extra 50 fps worth more than double the cost. However, Underwood also has some 155's that run 1500 fps for 774 pounds muzzle energy. Also 62 cpr. Might be worth it just for grins.

Thanks all.
