The Versatility of 10mm and .40 S&W Bullets

When it comes to performance and reliability, 10mm bullets and 40 bullets stand out as top choices for shooters. Originally designed as a powerful semi-automatic pistol cartridge, 10mm Auto made its debut in 1983, offering unmatched velocity and stopping power. Although the recoil proved challenging for some, this led to the development of the .40 S&W, a shorter, lighter version of the 10mm Auto that became a favorite among law enforcement and self-defense enthusiasts.

At Berry’s Bullets, we specialize in producing high-quality plated bullets that cater to both calibers. Whether you’re seeking precision for target shooting, dependable performance for self-defense, or a versatile solution for a variety of platforms, our selection of 10mm bullets and 40 bullets delivers superior results.

Key Performance Features of 10mm Auto

10MM AUTO

 

  • Size: The 10mm Auto has a bullet diameter of .400 inches, a neck diameter of .423 inches, and a base and rim diameter of .425 inches. The case length is typically 0.992 inches.
  • Muzzle Velocity: Typically, the muzzle velocity of a 10mm Auto round can range from about 1,200 to 1,400 feet per second, depending on the load.
  • Stopping Power: 10mm Auto is a powerful round. The muzzle energy can range from about 550 to 700 foot-pounds for common loads.
  • Terminal Ballistics: The 10mm Auto is known for deep penetration and a large permanent wound channel, making it a popular choice for hunting and self-defense.
  • Recoil: 10mm Auto is known for its substantial recoil, which can be challenging for some shooters to manage, particularly in rapid-fire situations.

 

.40 S&W

 

  • Size: The .40 S&W has a bullet diameter of .400 inches, and a neck, base, and rim diameter of .424 inches, The O.A.L is typically 0.850 inches.
  • Muzzle Velocity: The muzzle velocity of a .40 S&W round typically ranges from about 950 to 1,200 feet per second, depending on the load.
  • Stopping Power: .40 S&W rounds typically have muzzle energy ranging from about 350 to 500 foot-pounds.
  • Terminal Ballistics: .40 S&W provides good penetration and a significant permanent wound channel. It’s a popular choice for law enforcement and self-defense due to its balance of power and control.
  • Recoil: The recoil of .40 S&W is generally more manageable than the 10mm Auto, but it is still more substantial than smaller calibers like the 9mm.

 

These are generalized figures and actual results will vary based on a range of factors, including the specific ammunition used, the type of bullet and load, and the firearm it’s fired from.

Plated vs. Jacketed vs. Cast Bullets

At Berry’s, we focus exclusively on producing plated bullets, offering the ideal balance between performance and cost. Here’s how they compare:

 

  • Plated Bullets: Electroplated with copper around a swaged lead core, plated bullets reduce barrel fouling and improve accuracy. They’re also more affordable than jacketed bullets, making them a great option for self-defense and target shooting.
  • Jacketed Bullets: Featuring a hard copper or metal jacket, these bullets are stronger and suited for high-velocity applications. However, they’re more expensive than plated bullets, limiting their practicality for everyday shooting.
  • Cast Bullets: Made from soft lead, cast bullets are affordable but prone to lead fouling and are best for low-velocity use. They are unsuitable for modern calibers like 10mm Auto or .40 S&W.

Common Applications for 10mm and .40 Bullets

Self-Defense & Home Defense: Both calibers offer excellent performance with hybrid hollow point bullets providing reliable expansion and stopping power.

Hunting: For taking down black bears or grizzly bears, 10mm bullets with heavier grain weights ensure deep penetration and terminal effectiveness.

Law Enforcement: The balanced recoil and power of 40 bullets make them a trusted choice for police and tactical operations.

Target Shooting: With precise accuracy, round shoulder and flat nose bullets are perfect for practice or competition shooting.
