One of the things I am working on this year is upgrading the ammo and bullets I am using in my Glock 20 10mm. While I reload for my rifles and for shooting pistols at the range, I always use factory ammo in my pistols when I am carrying either concealed or in the field.
I use Federal HST's and Underwood Penetrators in my 45 ACP's, depending on whether I am in the city or country. In my 380 I use Precision One with a Hornady XTP. I like what I am using in those pistols and I am going to stick with what I have for now.
I normally carry a Glock 10 mm when I am in bear country but I haven't carried it as much as my other pistols and I have sort of neglected the time I have spent with it and the ammo I am running through it....which I have decided is pretty stupid. Time to do something about that.
For self defense in camp, I just bought some Winchester 175 grain Silvertips to try and am I looking for some Federal Trophy Bonded 180 grain to shoot as well. I think the Trophy Bonded could be a great all around bullet in the field. It seems to be loaded a bit hotter than some of the other Federal loads and it is a pretty stout bullet.
I am also looking at getting some quality 10 mm hardcast that is reliable and I was going to start with some Underwood 200 grain and maybe some Buffalo Bore.
For my concealed carry pistol ammo, I am normally looking to get at least 12-15 inches of penetration, good expansion and retention. I am ok with avg speeds in my factory carry ammo as long as I am getting the above with it. The trade off is less muzzle blast, recoil and easier follow up shots, if needed but that's me.
For my field and bear loads, I am looking for max penetration and foot pounds of energy. I want them relatively hot to maximize both and I want bullets that don't expand easily or fall apart.
What brand ammo, bullets and weight do you like to feed to your 10mm's? What have you tried and didn't like?
