In 30 years of law enforcement, I carried a 10mm from 1990, to retirement, in 2003. I think I carried almost every round available for 10mm. Tested most of them for the department I worked for. Everything from Norma 170's, Corbon 135's, Win. Black Talon (if they had only increased the velocity, what a buzz saw that was), Hornady 170's that became 180's.
Other than the premium loadings from Double Tap, Buffalo Bore, and Garrett, the Win. Silvertip, 175 gr. load was the one that best met our needs, that was within budget constraints.
