Social loads for 10mm Automatic

Via Oleg Volk

Plinking and social ammunition for use against humanoid foes, also for medium game like deer. Choose heavier solid loads for back country where bears and tigers might turn up.


Recently, my friends and I taught a new shooter aged 17. In Three Hours, this slightly Built girl Went from shooting SubSonic .22 Pistol suppressed from A to steel ringing and knocking down Small tree stumps at Twenty Paces A with Kimber in 10mm Auto. Watching her shoot this powerful gun with easy competency was fun. Shooting high-power loads from a subcompact Glock 31 I used to own gave me the memory of great torque and recoil, yet a teenage girl shot the same caliber with no great effort. How could that be? 

Curious about the increase of power from .22 subsonics to 10mm, I looked up the ballistics by brand and found something curious: the mighty 10 isn't always as mighty as I remembered it.

  1. Nothing beats the venerable 1911...
    45 ACP knocks 'em down every time...

    Recently, I have tried to make some penetrators...
    Took some masonry nails and ground off the heads.
    Drilled holes in the bullets on a drill press using a custom drilled wood clamp to hold the bullet...
    Mounted the nails in the holes with a drop of super glue.
    Voila, 'sabot' rounds. Should penetrate almost anything within 20 yards.
    They sure do a job on tree trunks... awesome penetration ability.
