Got any 10mm data?

[USSA-1]

Hey Doc, I know the 10mm is a bit outdated, but I'm still a fan of the round and if there is any 10mm testing data available, I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
USSA-1

Sorry, but we have not tested any 10 mm loads in over a decade. It is unfortunate, since 10 mm is one of the best SMG loads ever produced.

If that's an offer, I'll start to beg, borrow, or steal some ammuntion for you to test.

Double Tap 10mm Data

All of these tests were done using 10% ballistic gelatin provided by Vyse gelatin using all FBI protocols and 4 layers of denim and two layers of light cotton T-shirt in front of the gelatin.

155gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1475fps - 13.5" / .88"

No data, but here's what the Bureau is still issuing for the MP5/10s.

Outdated? How about incredibly effective but misunderstood?

IMO, one of the nicest looking 10mm's around is Ken Lunde's Colt Delta Elite 10mm

[DocGKR]

I am a bit skeptical about the Double Tap ammo test results...

On the other hand, we have tested the ammo that "Federale" depicted--it has been a quite a while, but IIRC, out of a Colt Delta Elite it ran about 925 fps, penetrated in the 16" range with expansion around 60-62 caliber, with minimal changes against 4 layer denim and auto glass. A relatively mild, but good performing load.

Doc, what is your opinion of the 10mm for use on auto bodies? What load would you recommend for use in, around and against automobiles? Planning on hard mounting a G20. I've seen what .357 Sig does on steel but don't like that cartridge, I was thinking that a 180 at 1300 might do well.

Thanks in advance!

[DocGKR]

Again, we have not tested 10 mm loads in over a decade, however, the Federal 190gr JHP (XM1003A) shown above is a good choice as the bonded bullet does well against intermediate barriers.

When penetration is key, two holes bleed better than one! Entrance and exit hole! This is an excellent load for woods protection.
