Underwood Ammo 242 10Mm 220Gr Hard Cast Flat Nose 20 Per Box/10 Case
Underwood Ammo 10mm hard cast ammunition delivers serious stopping power for hunting, defense, and range training. These 220-grain flat-nose rounds combine a non-expanding hard cast projectile with Underwood's Hi-Tek polymer coating, giving you the cleanliness of jacket ammunition with the reliability and penetration of traditional lead hardcast loads. Built for shooters who need dependable, no-nonsense performance in their 10mm pistols or carbines.
Hard cast bullets excel at punching through heavy bone and dense material without deformation, making them the choice for hunters pursuing large game like wild hog and black bear where deep, straight-line penetration matters. The flat-nose design maintains its trajectory and keeps the projectile nose-forward through the target. Underwood's Hi-Tek coating significantly reduces barrel fouling compared to uncoated hard cast, meaning less time cleaning and more time shooting—especially important if you're burning through multiple boxes at the range or in the field.
Each box contains 20 rounds loaded to a muzzle velocity of 1200 fps, and the case option gives you the economy of bulk purchasing without storing 10 individual boxes. Whether you're sighting in for a hunting trip, running drills at the range, or keeping reliable ammo on hand, this is honest ammunition built for serious 10mm users who understand the difference between cheap and dependable.
