500...are you loading your own or need factory ammo...
If you are looking for factory ammo be aware there are generally two different levels... The full bore rounds that will generally be above 1200 fps and the watered down "FBI" that are usually under 1000 fps.
Haven't been able to hunt with a 10mm because I usually hunt in Pennsylvania where semis can't be used for big game. If I could I'd probably use the 165 grain Gold Dot HP handloads that are running 1300 fps...
As long as the bullet is clocking 1200+ at the muzzle it not going to make much difference on deer and smaller hogs.

Bob I am looking intialy for factory and then move to HL as I look at various articals your note at 1200 fps is well taken. I will keep him away from the "FBI" loads he wanted something in an auto more than dads old 45 acp for hunting and woods walking...Thanks

Can't go wrong with loads from Buffalo Bore, Underwood, Georgia Arms and the other small manufacturers... Some people like a smokin' HP and others a big meplate hardcast... I'm in the high speed HP camp when it comes to deer...for factory ammo this is where I would put my money... underwoodammo.com/10mm-auto-165-grain-bonded-jacketed-hollow-point/My handloads are the same Speer 165 Gold Dot HPs at 1300

I have a Glock 40, Kimber Long Slide, 5" Stainless Target II, PARA LS Hunter, SIG Nightmare Carry and a Ruger GP-100 Match Champion...
Great round I wish I had gotten into a long time ago...

For a "heavy" I skip over the 180s and go right to a 200 hardcast. Have a MP mold that does solids and hps...
The 200 grain .40 has the same sectional density as a 210 .41...and since a 210 .41 will shoot through and through anything I will ever encounter I didn't bother going to the 220/.40 HC... The 200s run 1250 fps...

Go to 24hourcampfire.com and talk to Mackay_Sagebrush. He makes new ammo and not reloads. One man operation but makes some good stuff. He is a licensed manufacturer also

If you can find a LW20LC slide you can build your own. By the time you buy a good barrel, good sights and a good trigger You should be able to get in around 1100.00 and if you are familiar with the fitting process frame to slide and slide to barrel you can build one that is super accurate. The problem is the slide. They quit making them. I have scoured the country for them. They are out there but hard to find. Do you know why they quit making the LW long slides? Star

I know, years ago I had a Para LS Hunter. Sold it like a fool. Many bashed them, but never had a problem.

I heard they were coming back but last time I checked they still weren't building them.
