This + they are the absolute slowest wimpiest 10mm loads I have ever run ( below normal .40 S&W velocities in fact!)and while they seemed consistent and fairly clean they shot to a different point of aim than a full power round like say Underwood.
See here as the PPU's were under 900FPS at 180 grain!

Contrast that with my normal defensive carry load here in the 180 grain Underwoods rolling in at over 1300 fps!

I always assumed they were range ammo. I don't have a 10mm but my PPU 9 and 40 I wouldn't think of using for anything other than range
