    Actually, I dont know if it was recorded. The rounds were fired for shits and grins by some cops after a dept ballistic testing which was supposed to be "We swear, your GP rifle round is awesomez". The two gel blocks were left overs.

    Here is a new TNOutdoors 9 video where he tests the Underwood 10mm 135 grain Nosler JHP.

    Amazingly predictable on that 135gr load. In the .40/10mm caliber, the 135gr bullet has an approximately sectional density of only 0.121. Virtually every handgun caliber that has that low of a sectional density rating has almost identical penetration to that tested 10mm load. Usually 9-10" of penetration.

    According to the decades proven FBI penetration standard, it is a failure. All that extra velocity pretty much did nothing for the caliber. Bullet sectional density, mass, and construction influence projectile effectiveness far more than velocity.
