9 Best 10 mm Ammunitions For Self Defence

10mm ammunition is becoming increasingly popular for self-defense law enforcement as well as hunting. There is a lot of 10mm ammo out there, but let's take a look at the top nine 10mm ammunition.

1. Number one, the 175-grain Hornady critical service, is designed for police travel at speeds of 1,160 feet per second. It is emitting 510 foot-pounds of energy. The FBI had recently acquired the critical duty nine-millimeter version. This excellent round always gives perfect expansion and has a nickel-plated brass case, which makes it look pretty. Some would argue that feeding is more fluid, but one thing you can always depend on is good Hornady ammo.

2. Number two, the 200-grain speer gold point, is the second-largest bullet on this list. It is a jacketed hollow point that travels at speeds of 1,100 feet per second. By emitting 537 pound-feet of energy, the nickel-plated brass 200 case emits a deep mushroom-shaped, soft-tissue expansion, which is exactly what you want from good self-defense ammunition.

3. Number three the Sig Sauer 180 grain v-crown. This bullet travels at speeds of 1,200 feet per second and emits 624 foot-pounds of energy. This brass-lined optimized stacked jacketed hollow point lead is called a V-crown because of the V-shaped mushroom cavity. It consistently emits almost every shot.

4. Number four, the 180-grain federal hydra shock: This bullet travels at 1,030 feet per second and emits 500 foot-pounds of energy. It has a notched copper jacketed hollow tip that provides great expansion probably not as consistent as others. Hydra Shok ammo has received constant ammo since 1989, something that many of these other manufacturers cannot say.

5. Number five-carbon 165 grain jacketed hollow point is the lightest ammo on this list. It has speeds of 1250 feet per second of penetration and expansion significantly better than most other 10 millimeters. Emitting 573 foot-pounds of energy and giving a double-diameter bullet mushroom expansion, this is all caused by jacketed internal and external ridges.

6. Number six, the 170-grain PMC bronze jacketed hollow point - this is the ammunition you can carry traveling at speeds of 1200 feet per second. Emitting 545 foot-pounds of energy. It is brass-cased ammunition that has constant expansion and fires much more accurately than any other 10mm out there.

7. Number seven, the 180-grain federal trophy paired a bear claw with a straight-toe jacket. This bullet travels at 1,275 feet per second and emits 650 foot-pounds of energy. This bullet is designed to provide greater precision and penetration much deeper than almost any other 10mm out there.

8. Number eight, the 180-grain Hornady XTP. This incredibly accurate and consistent bullet emits speeds of 1275 feet per second 650 foot-pounds of energy. This brass box ammo doesn't have the trimmings of a nickel-plated box but has higher speeds and heavier hits than critical duty.

       

9. Number nine buffalo board 220 grain-heavy outdoorsman. This is a no-nonsense defensive round that is designed for heavy hits. Emitting speeds of 1200 feet per second with more than 700 foot-pounds of energy with each stroke. This flat tip bullet is designed to hit and hit hard.

These are some popular types of 10mm ammo you can choose for self-defense. There are some other popular calibers but in the above list, we have just taken 9 popular calibers.
