This topic comes up from time to time. I don't understand it.
I don't hotrod handloads. With published data, my experience has been...
6" Model 57 - 220 Keith LSWC @ 1350 FPS
5" Delta Elite 10mm - 200 Hornady FMJ or XTP @ 1150 FPS
The difference seems pretty clear to me: about 200 FPS. Whether that's a big deal is something that I guess could be argued, but it seems pretty substantial to me.
The 10mm lies somewhere between full-charge, long-barrel .357 Magnum and .41 Magnum. It's a good round and a shame it is not more common, IMHO.
