Huh?
Hornady XTP 180gr is rated at 1180fps and clocks at a tad over 1200fps from a 5" (Delta Elite). I haven't clocked Win 175gr Silvertip, but they should be in the same ballpack. Even the hottest 40 -- DoubleTap and BuffaloBore from a 5" -- can't match these "medium" 10mm loads. I am a big 40 fan, but a 10mm it is not.
