I did extensive bullet testing when the .40 came out. Only used open sights. Max shot was 45-50.
Several bullets proved poor performers requiring multiple shots to put deer down (with good hits). Loosers were 155,180 XTPs,Gold Dots, 170 SWCs. The persistent good performer was the 165 gr. Sierra JHC. Never more than 2 shots, but usually only one to put deer down.
I don't know how this will translate to the 10MM, but it's the only bullet I use in my Sig .40.
