10mm 100gr Xtreme Defender Review

Simply amazing, you're hitting intermediate rifle velocity out of a 9" barrel. I knew this round was good, but damn.

those are my fav bullets to load. If you want to see something real crazy, try some 90gr out of a 350L going over 3000fps. I've seen them cut ballistic gel in 4 length wise pieces. I never thought that possible. ended up with the 10mm 100gr cause the only other bullets I could get at the time were fmj-fp. They'll do half again as much damage (if not more) as any other bullets, every time...

Multiple factors, but mainly that 10mm is a wider cartridge, and thus can utilize more gun powder. 5.7 x 28mm might be longer, but that doesn't mean shorter cartridges won't be faster than it. Especially with the most Civil Defense 60 grain loads that can reach up to 2,400 FPS!

Uuhhh No… What do the barrel lock up have to do with how fast the bullet leaves the barrel ? Doesn’t even make sense. I think you are trying to be over critical and too technical. It would seem like from the time the firing pin comes into contact with the primer then, the powder being ignited would be along the lines of making more sense but, barrel lock up? 🤔 Nah !!!!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

The dwell time makes more pressure flow down the barrel instead of actuating the action.

@Lift_these okay well you can't teach some people... guess you should reflect on whether or not you're that person. My glock 29 and the XDM 3.8" have the same barrel length.
