It's kinda like the word "whelm"....we've all been "overwhelmed" but I've never heard anyone say they was just "whelmed" and certainly I've never heard anyone being "underwhelmed"
Take it from there.

I say "underwhelmed" all the time. Use it for a synonym for disappointed with or to describe something that's pretty meaningless or something that I'm not impressed by.

What I mean, I suppose is what have you been underwhelmed with (cartridge wise)?

If I can just skip the next six posts after your first one, they've sooooo underwhelmed me

think of cartridges with big holes & small bodies as being under bore as opposed to those with small holes & big bodies that were over bore. Things like the 358 Win, 6mm/222, 416 Taylor, 458 Win Mag & a heap of other similar to these.

WouldnÂ´t the 9.3x62 be underbore? The 9.3x57 is another candidate and the 10.75x68 could be another one.

6x45?

30-30.

Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.

I think we're on a roll now.......and now that I think of it I've been very underwhelmed with the old 45-70!!!

Underbored means there is not enough energy in the powder charge to overcome the total barrel resistance to the projectile, which never became a projectile cause it got stuck in the barrel.

Underbore is what my wife claims I am. In reference to rifles, it is where a reduction in barrel length would increase the velocity, i.e., a 22 long rifle would see an increase in velocity by reducing the barrel length from 32" to 30" for example

I can only think of one. The .35 remington. Don't get me wrong its a damn fine killer up close. But Its a bit weak for a .35 caliber. I think the .358 is about bottom line for .35 caliber velocity/performance. That said the damned old .35rem has killed scads of beasts. So maybe there is no underbore,just distances to far with certain calibers.

So does a perfect bore's bullet reach the end of the barrel and still be in the gun or does it fall out of the barrel.

A 270 in A 280 would be under bore....

A bewildering question like that on a 3 drink Saturday afternoon can be somewhat perplexing! Might need a little time to think about that.

Just about any pistol round?

Idaho Sharpshooter

Seeley Masker once told me any sporting cartridge where the powder charge is less than 40% of the bullet weight. The 22 Hornet is probably the best of the underbore cartridges, the 30-378Wbee the worst of the overbore offerings.

& by definition, every bullet weight in every caliber must have an ideal bore size to cartridge size ratio for any suitable powder, &... Oh hell who can be bothered but I reckon I've got the drift now
