925 fps.

220 gr hard cast in my 10mm has been my go to for a long time for wilderness back up.

45 ACP +P 255gr. Flat Nose Hi-Tek Coated Hard Cast Hunting Ammo]

Interesting!
For which weapon?

[BRUCE26]

Taurus PT 1911. Or Springfield Armory XDM .45 w/4.5 in. barrel.

OR you could ask yourself, If a Grizzly bear was charging you which one would you want to have to protect yourself? How many rounds in a 10 MM? How many rounds in your .45?

[BRUCE26]

I don’t have Griz in my back yard, just 400lb Black bears.

[Todd30]

@BRUCE26

400lb Black bears.

So, you would settle with a 9mm? Just kidding!

I live in black and griz country before I moved here I only had blacks and carried a 44 with hardcast. When I got here I said hmm these critters are quite a bit bigger so I started carrying a 454 with nosler partitions still a 45 right BTW one of the few pistol rounds that can benefit from partitions as far as I’m concerned

[Shawn17]

17 to be exact but if you look at the ballistics, 10mm has more energy than the 45acp also.

Love me the 1 centimeter cartridge…

.45ACP 1911 vs 10mm 1911 (Whats The Real Difference?)

[Johnnyq60]

2400 FPS 10MM! Liberty Civil Defense 10mm vs .45acp +P! Ballistic Gel & Chronograph Testing!

[BRUCE26]

A fair test I think.
