Testing the Perception

But how powerful is it, exactly?

Check out my video above to see how it all did on the range.

For this 10mm ammo comparison, I selected three loads, all with bullets weighing 200 grains.

These loads covered both high-performance 10mm self defense ammo as well as basic range ammunition.

These are both very powerful and effective rounds.

Excessive penetration is generally not preferred for defensive ammunition.

I also chronographed all three 200-gr.

loads to see how they performed.
