WHAT IS 10 MM AMMO?
This round was designed as an improvement to the already existing .45 ACP. It was better than the .45ACP in terms of magazine capacity and ballistic performance. Though it never gained tremendous popularity, it is being produced by several top ammo manufacturers in America.
HISTORY OF THE 10MM CARTRIDGE
The 10mm ammo in stock is known for its excellent energy transfer from load to target, flatter trajectory, and accuracy at high ranges. Designed in 1983 by Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Copper to replace the .45ACp, this round is short enough to be used in a semi-automatic pistol yet has the energy and power of cartridges used in a revolver Magnum. The 10mm ammunition round is commonly found in Hollow Point and Full Metal Jacket (F.M.J.) variations, and its weight varies between 135 to 200 grains. This cartridge is manufactured by two standards the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) and the Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms (C.I.P.). The C.I.P. is the European equivalent of SAAMI.

PERFORMANCE
10mm amunition is considered a high-velocity cartridge (velocity ranges from 1,300 – 1600 ft/s), with its most powerful rounds equaling the highest performance of the .357 Magnum cartridges. It can retain more energy (energy exceeds 750 ft-lbf) than the .45ACP at 100 yards. Thanks to this round’s high SAAMI pressure of 37 500 psi, it performs better than the .40 S&W, which has a psi of 35,000. The advantage this round also has over the .40 S&W is its large casing which enables it to carry more smokeless powder and heavy loads.

TYPES
cheap 10 mm exists in two forms; Jacketed Hollow Point J.H.P. and Full Metal Jacket F.M.J.
- F.M.J. This cartridge is a conical-formed load in a hard metal case, usually copper. The jacket’s function is to make the bullet more effective by keeping the shape of the bullet as it travels toward the target. Even though this load type is the cheapest of the cheap 10mm ammo available, it has to be used with care for self-defense as it has an over-penetrating power/property.
- J.H.P. This round is also a conical-shaped bullet in a rigid metal case. It differs from the F.M.J. in that it has an inverted hollow point at the exposed tip. This slows penetration and increases the bullet’s stopping power when it hits its target.
