While it’s not exactly a \u201cBig Bore\u201d caliber, 10mm Automatic ammo packs a punch well above its weight class. It performs every bit like a Big Bore magnum, thumping anything unlucky enough to be on the receiving end with great malice. <\/span>10mm was designed to be a hot load caliber, created to hit targets with a disruptive force with a flat trajectory. So, what makes the best 10mm ammo? We’ll get into all that and more in the article below.<\/span><\/p>\n

10mm auto quickly became the standard duty caliber of the FBI in the 1980s. They adopted the heavy caliber following their infamous and disastrous Miami shootout with .38 caliber revolvers. After an investigation into the shootout, detectives found the dated service weapons failed to incapacitate the suspects, resulting in the death of two agents. Perhaps the only problem with the 10mm cartridge is that it worked and penetrated targets a little too well. The FBI phased it out of standard service almost as quickly as it was introduced due to \u201cexcessive recoil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Remington UMC 10mm Auto 180 Grain MC<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Remington 180gr 10mm ammo is a great choice for training at the range.<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s tough to say exactly how Remington UMC 10mm<\/a> stacks up to S&B 180gr FMJ, because the UMC ballistic chart<\/span><\/a> states that a 4\u201d barrel was used. That being said, UMC 180 gr ball ammo is nothing to laugh at, with a powerful velocity of 1,150fps and 528 ft\/lbs. Limp-wristing this potent 180gr ammo on the range is not advised.<\/span><\/p>\n
