If Underwoods ammo is made to SAAMI specs then I don’t understand why it cant be fired in the Delta. I get it that a small portion of the case is unsupported so there must be some pressure threshold for the 1911 rampless platform even within SAAMI standards?

Its just that many of the Underwoods ammo does not seem much different by the numbers than other brands, that’s why I find this odd.
