Hope For The 10 mm

So I've often thought of, if not switching to a 10 mm, than at least occasionally carrying one, but it's always boiled down to the fact that no modern rounds are made for this caliber.

Unless you can convince Mike At Double Tap to do you a solid. The picture is of a 165 grain Ranger T in .40 caliber that Mike pulled and loaded in a 10 mm cartridge, then fired into ballistic gelatin. 1200 fps, and the thing expanded to over an inch in diameter. I do not know how much he charged, but it probably was somewhere along the lines of $30-40 for a box of 50.

Since bullet expansion begins almost immediately after impacting a viscous object, imagine this round plowing through 14-15 inches of bad guy.

Then grin and wonder if it'd be worth getting a 10 mm semi-auto just to make bullets look like that, and I'd love to see what a Federal HST could do if reloaded in a similar manner. Shame that neither Winchester or Federal sell just the bullets.
