ShootingTheBull410 9mm Ammo Quest: Underwood, Black Hills and CORBON

By Dan Zimmerman

I recently re-organized the various ammo I’ve got waiting to be tested and realized…this is gonna take forever at my current pace. As such, I’m taking some steps to speed up the process. So in this one video I get through evaluating four different loads. They are . . .

1. Underwood 124+P Gold Dots: these are fantastic. They achieve velocities almost exactly the same as, and even a tiny bit higher than, the best-performing 124+P Gold Dots I’d previously tested (Speer’s 124+P Short Barrel). Since it’s the same bullet, at the same velocity, it gets the same recommendation — this is good stuff for use in a 3″-barrel 9mm pistol.

2. Black Hills Ammunition’s 115+P TAC-XP: I’d tested the Barnes TAC-XP bullet in two prior loads with two very different results. The Barnes loading from Barnes themselves didn’t deliver enough velocity and resulted in some partial expansion and even a failure to expand. But the same bullet loaded by CORBON (and labeled DPX) was over 100 fps faster than the Barnes loading and did spectaculalry well. It’s one of the best-performing loads I’ve tested for the 9mm short-barrel pistol. …read more
