[10mm-Admirer]

This is good medium power 10mm ammunition. I saw a YouTube penetration test in ballistic gel that showed 17" of penetration with a serious wound channel and excellent weight retention.

It would seem to be a good load for hunting and personal defense.  In my experience it has moderate 10mm recoil and shoots accurately. It is available right at $20 for a box of 20 in my area. I have worked up a duplicate handload with Power Pistol.

I'll probably use it for self defense in my Gen 4 G29 and defense and hunting load in my G20SF.
