The 10mm is often touted as a semi-auto cannon. It is pretty powerful for a flat sided 10-15 shot 3 lb. auto. Sort of a hot .44 Special or in custom form getting close to the Keith's version of the .44 Magnum. He specified a 240 gr. at 1200 fps, not 1500!

I guess if you only look at the .41 Magnum "police load" from 1964 it might be true. In itself not a bad loading for general uses. That and general factory loads in .41 vs hot specialty loads in 10mm. Not a fair comparison.

I had a friend who thought his Glock 29 was the baddest carry gun there ever was. I didn't have heart to tell him from a 3-3/4"" barrel he almost turned his 10mm into a .40 S&W G22 ballistic twin. But it is a good gun. The G19/23, 29, and G30/G30s are all very close to the same size, and fantastic guns.

Several of us Misfits have "cheater" 10mm's. Special 6" barreled customs with heavy springs, custom throating, porting, and shooting slick cast bullets. (not to mention sporting red dot electronic sighting) I've shot 200 gr. and 230 gr. FPGC fast enough to get me banished as irresponsible, mimicking Kase's developed loads, and working them up in my custom. What it can do with AA#7 and LongShot is eye opening.

For shorter ranges the 10mm is a hot hunting or back-up auto with the right ammo for the job.

As to the .30-06 I don't push it really. I own more powerful arms if I need more than what the old 06' produces. Plus that seldom crops up. It is fun shooting lighter bullets to expand it's usefulness, the Speer Varminter 110 gr. is very explosive.

the 08 is always behind the 06 - Lynn, 2018-10-16, 17:12
