Probably the weakest 10mm ever made. My buddy Jason shot a deer with one of these about 10 years ago. We didn't even see a blood trail. Not sure the bullet even penetrated the deer hide. They are WEAK. I chronoed some at 915 fps, max was 927. That's barely 335 f/lbs.
Probably why they don't make them anymore. I would take a shitty Blazer with the aluminum case over these things.
How sure are we on the powder?
I sent enough to keep him busy for a while ;)
This one looks like my AA#7 and also fits the powder profile and velocity for the charge weight.
I believe the Federal 10mm Hydra-Shok load may be just as weak up to an additional 50 FPS.

Really? That's slower than that other slug!
