Thus, the gel tests look similar, but the 10mm was designed for a higher speed/smaller projectile = better barrier penetration. On a soft target, .45 is still your best value for bleed/impact, until someone comes up with a pocket .308.  |
The 10mm corbon - Double Tap loads.. .with the 135 gr. bullet are simply spectacular in expansion and temp. cavity...shoot flat and don't overpenetrate... The silvertip 175gr load is also very hot and doesn't seem to be as overpenetrative... love the 10... 
My two cents worth anyway...
