Wow. You really have a bad 10 mm habit!
You might say that!

It's not a 44 magnum. Compare the load data to a 357 and you will see it's not quite 357 energy levels. 357 can get another 100fps out of a 180 gn bullet. Even if you don't intend to reload the manual is a great tool. You can have all the data with no opinion involved to evaluate a cartridge. You dont need to go hotter to hunt. You just need the round to be effective within your effective range. 10mm is a fun club to be in, but it's not a 44 mag.I talked to a couple gun smith friends and both recommended the glock with a fully supported barrel for hot loads. Both said the 1911 would be problematic and often experienced feed problems in the 10mm.
I shot a glock 20 today. Put a box of underwood 150g jhp, and 5 Winchester silvertips 175 (I think).
Accuracy was good out to about 30 yards then fell off, I say due to shooter issues. It’s been 15 years since I’ve owned or shot a glock.
I enjoyed the glock and found it easy to attain point ability at close range.
I was not very impressed with the 10mm round, I truly hope these aren’t considered hot rounds, I was anticipating something similar to lighter power 44 mag loads. Can someone attest to where these rounds fall on the spectrum of warmth of the load?
One of the deputies brought his 500 to the range. As it had a brake on it it wasn't bad at all to shoot, except for his wallet....?
This is why I have a Chronograph.
