True...I listed external ballistic data for the 10mm and .40 cal loads from Double Tap. I listed the information for comparison. Are these an "excellent defensive load"? I wouldn't say that because I have not shot anything living with the 155 gr 10mm loads.

I have used the 10mm 175 gr. Silvertips on four and two legged targets. All times, it has worked for me. I still feel, no matter the caliber or "magic" bullet is used...shot placement is the key.

DocGKR - you provide great info !
