A heavy cast in the 10mm would be a great penetrator but wouldn't have a large enough meplat for me to use on deer. The 45 I might try cast of I could find a profile I liked that would feed reliably. It would be nice to have a little tougher hollow point for the 10mm and super. Both of those bullets are made to expand at 40 and standard 45acp velocities.


The 185 grain XTP is a tougher bullet than the 230 XTP and foes not expand as large in my experience with the Super. The 185 XTP penetrated much better than I expected.
