LEWISTON, Idaho –-(Ammoland.com)- Speer Ammunition is pleased to announce its new 10mm Auto 200-grain load. Speer Gold Dot ammunition’s reliability has made it the No. 1 choice for law enforcement. The brand offers the same performance for self-defense with the addition of a powerful 10mm Auto load that takes advantage of the cartridge’s capability. Shipments of this ammunition are being delivered to dealers now.
While most 10mm Auto offerings produce ballistics similar to those of 40 S&W, Gold Dot’s 200-grain bullet is loaded for optimal performance from the cartridge. Like all Gold Dot loads, its bullet is built using Speer’s exclusive Uni-Cor method. The jacket is bonded to the core one molecule at a time, virtually eliminating core-jacket separation and creating a precision hollow point that is accurate, tough and unbelievably consistent through all common barriers.
Features & Benefits
- New power-packed 10mm Auto load
- Consistent penetration and expansion through common barriers
- Extremely uniform jacket maximizes accuracy
- Gold Dot technology virtually eliminates core-jacket separation
- Nickel-plated brass
- Reliable, sensitive CCI primer

I agree with Glenn Howse and David Tong.
The article did not provide the muzzle velocity and foot pounds of energy for typical weapons (such as a 10mm Glock 20 or a 10mm Hi-Point Carbine 1095T).
Why not? This is critical information. This may NOT be Fake News.
But it is Lazy News.
:
Norma Ammo’s original spec was for 200 grain at 1200fps. Does it do it. Don’t know from the article. FAKE NEWS!!!!
What is the stated velocity and energy? Why must it retail for nearly two dollars PER round? What agency is going to adopt it? This seems more a press release than a factual article?
Underwood’s Xtreme defender, w 20 rds per box is:

Case Type: Ducta-Bright 7a Nickel Brass
BALLISTICS INFORMATION
Muzzle Velocity: 1825 fps
Muzzle Energy: 740 ft lbs

And has better penetration and double the cavity stretch of the hollow point Ammo. At 100gr, the brass bullet has lower recoil.
I’m a big fan of Speer’s ammo, especially the Short Barrel line that I use in my carry guns, but for 10 mm I’ll stick with Underwood’s loading, a 180 gr. Gold Dot rated at 1300 fps and only $18.50 per 20.
What is the muzzle velocity? Is this the same 200gr bullet intended for the .40S&W or is it a new bullet designed to handle the higher 10mm velocities?
