Administrative Note: The information above comes from the manufacturer and is only informational. The actual ballistics obtained with your firearm can vary considerably from the advertised ballistics.

Also, ballistics can vary from lot to lot with the same brand and type load. When manufacturer ballistic data was unavailable, ballistics were calculated using a ballistics calculator.

10mm Ballistics Trajectory Chart

Below, you’ll find a sample 10mm bullet drop chart that gives you a general idea of what the 10mm trajectory looks like.

Note: The chart above is an example of one 10mm load, and actual ballistic performance may vary depending on bullet weight, lot, barrel length, and environmental conditions while shooting.

10mm Velocity (FPS)

The 10mm Auto has a wide range of velocities measured in feet per second (FPS), depending on the manufacturer, bullet weight, and load you purchase.

For example the Black Hills 10mm Auto Honey Badger 115-grain bullet has a muzzle velocity of 1,600 fps while the Aguila 10mm Auto 180-grain fmj bullet has a muzzle velocity of 1,200 fps.

Underwood Ammo produces a 10mm Auto 100-grain Xtreme Defender with a muzzle velocity of 1,825 fps; however, most rounds have a velocity in the 1,200 fps to 1,500 fps range.

It should be noted that handloads will give you the most consistent results if you’re willing to put the time into reloading and handloading ammo.

10mm Muzzle Energy

Some semi-automatic pistol shooters use muzzle energy to help determine the knockdown power of a round. The 10mm Auto cartridge was created because the 9mm lacked the stopping power the FBI and other law enforcement agencies in the USA were looking for in a handgun cartridge.

Muzzle energy is measured in foot-pounds (ft-lbs of energy). Even though I believe stopping power is an over-analyzed metric, it’s important to understand these specs for self-defense because they allow us to choose the best ammo for our specific situation, whether that’s home defense or concealed carry.

The Black Hills 10mm Auto Honey Badger 115-grain has a muzzle energy of 654 ft-lbs compared to the Aguila 10mm Auto 180-grain FMJ which has a muzzle energy of 576 ft-lbs. However, at longer ranges heavier bullets maintain higher muzzle energy. 

The Underwood 10mm Auto 100-grain Xtreme Defender defense round still has a high muzzle energy (740 ft-lbs), even though it’s a lightweight bullet. This is due in part to traveling at such high speeds.

How Do 10mm Ballistics Compare to Other Handgun Rounds?

It’s impossible to fairly compare any pistol cartridge with another because they each have their benefits and drawbacks.

The 10mm Auto sits in between the 9mm and 45 ACP, very similarly to the 40 Smith & Wesson. However, 10mm Auto has comparable ballistics to the 357 Magnum.

Hornady 10mm Auto HP XTP 155-grain has a muzzle energy of 551 foot-pounds and a muzzle velocity of 1,265 fps compared to Hornady 357 Magnum XTP 158-grain has a muzzle energy of 548 foot-pounds and a muzzle velocity of 1,250 fps.

Much like a 357 Magnum revolver, a 10mm Auto pistol has high recoil, which makes follow up shots less accurate or at the very least much slower. Which is not a positive quality to have in a self-defense situation.

Read any gun forum and you’ll see people arguing that a bigger bullet at full power is best and anyone who carries a 9mm just wants to die because the 9mm doesn’t have enough stopping power.

However, the truth is when using a hollow point bullet (JHP or anything similar) in any of the calibers mentioned above, the terminal performance is very similar. This is thanks to the advancements in bullet technology since the 1980s.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions we consistently receive regarding 10mm ballistics here at Ammo.com.

Is 10mm Bigger Than 45?

No, a 10mm has a smaller projectile and shorter overall length than a 45 ACP. However, it has a longer case.

Can 10mm Kill A Bear?

Yes, a 10mm can kill a bear, especially with well-placed shots.

Can 10mm Penetrate Body Armor?

Yes, 10mm Lehigh Penetrators can defeat level II-A kevlar.

What is the effective range of a 10mm?

The effective range of a 10mm is 400 yards, but that’s when a very skilled marksman is shooting. For the average shooter, 100 yards is the maximum effective range of a 10mm.
