Congratulations Mike. Great deer and I know it was fun.

I use to revolver hunt back in the 70s with 357, 41 and 44 mag. I really enjoyed it. I know you're very knowledgable about firearms so would you tell me about where the 10mm fits in with the 3 cal. I mentioned above.

Thanks,

JC

It falls between the 357 & 41. I push these 200 grain bullets just over 1250fps with a 6.5" barrel.

That's good stuff.

Why did you go with the 200 instead of the 185's?

Reason I ask is i have been working up a load with xtp's and gold dots to hunt with behind some blue dot. My thought was to keep the velocity up.

How did the xtp hold together?

I felt they would hold up better and penetrate deeper on a hog than the lighter bullets. I also have some 220 grain hardcast that I hope to try out on pigs.

Based on the entry/exit holes and the quick kill, I'd say it did just fine. Exit hole was about the size of between a quarter and fifty cent piece.
