This 10mm Auto ammo, by Underwood? It is intended for personal protection. It’s just a little more special than conventional self-defense ammo, because it’s optimized to kill dangerous game.
You don’t want JHP bullets for protection against boars, bears, moose, and other menacing critters. Those expand, which is why they’re likely to anchor themselves inside the animal before they can hit its heart, lung, or other “off switch.”
You want *hard cast* bullets for backwoods protection. They resist deformation in the interest of achieving the deepest penetration possible, and they are even more effective when they (A) have flat nose profiles (which facilitate straighter penetration), and (B) weigh 220 grains (which is heavy for the 10mm, and therefore gains the superior momentum that maximizes penetration depth even further).
Underwood’s special hard cast is coated in Black Cherry polymer: a feature which extends barrel lifespan by minimizing friction, and reduces lead fouling while it’s at it. The Illinois company’s nickel-plated brass cases and low-flash propellant are both welcome additions to ammo that may just save your hide someday.
