This round was developed with a projectile that is soft enough to expand upon impact, but hard enough not to create lead fouling in the barrel of a of a normal revolver.
Underwood Ammo’s soft cast featuring a new “Black Cherry” coating. Equipped with new enhancements from our previous Hi-Tek coating. Our “Black Cherry” coating is a polymer-based compound; its thermal stability allows it to handle more than any other coating today. The coating will protect against gas cutting with a high degree of wear and abrasion resistance. The “Black Cherry” coating prevents lead to bore contact, thus virtually eliminating lead fouling.
Coatings special features:
- No plastic burning smell
- Thermally stable
- Resistant to weathering and chemical degradation
- Strong mechanical and tensile strength properties
- Self-lubricating
- Able to withstand high pressure conditions
- Able to withstand high heat conditions
- High degree of wear and abrasion resistance
- Reduced friction resistance
- Good flame retarding properties
- Coating prevents lead to bore contact thus virtually eliminating lead fouling
- Shoot higher velocities without lead fouling
All non-jacketed lead bullets, whether it may be cast, hard cast, wad-cutter, etc. ""smoke"" to some degree due to the wax/lube needed in the manufacturing process. With the high performance and velocity we achieve it is nearly impossible to stop this from happening. Higher chamber pressures, higher velocities, and higher temperatures mean more smoke in this case. The only way to create less smoke would be to sacrifice performance, which has never been our goal.
Nickel-plated brass casings, our nickel plating process provides several key benefits, not limited to but including; improved feeding in all actions of firearms enhanced corrosion resistance over traditional brass, improved cosmetics, and ease of cleanup during reloading. Nickel-plated casings will not tarnish like brass during storage or when in contact with foreign materials such as leather, moisture, and other metals.
As with all of Underwood Ammo™ rounds, we utilize flash suppressed powder so that your vision will not be compromised if it becomes necessary to use your firearm in low light.
While taking advantage of our state of the art testing equipment, this high-performance ammunition is field tested using popular, real firearms that our customers are most likely to own out in the real world with all the elements you would experience.
