So, I've shot plenty of buffalo bore (380, 9mm, 357 sig, and 45). Never shot any Underwood because my LGS doesn't carry it. The specific round in question is the 158g LSWCHP +P. Both companies produce it.
BB states that out of a 4" barrel (which it will be shot from, S&W m64) it is traveling at 1162 fps putting out 474 ft lbs. Not to shabby.
Underwood states that theirs in traveling at 1000 fps at 351 ft lbs. They do not mention what test barrel length that is from but I'm assuming it is 2" since those are the same stats that BB puts out from a 2" barrel. So im assuming it is roughly the same as BB's stats in a 4" barrel.
My question. Both companies produce premium ammo and are well established. Both bullets are gas checked, and use Starline brass.
BB is $28.79 per 20 rounds. Underwood is only $15.80 per 20, roughly half the price.
Is the price difference i'm paying between the 2 Just because of the name? Or am I missing something major to justify the $12.99 price difference?
