[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1829345, member: 10178"] As Dirty Harry said, "a man has to know his limitations". If you can place the bullet where it needs to go out to a certain range consistently then that is your limitation. The 10mm does have what it takes to take a deer out to 100 yards. Bullet selection will make a difference in the effectiveness of quick kills. With most conventional semi autos and revolvers you do not get high velocity rifle type kills unless you hit CNS. Slower velocity slugs kill by putting a caliber size or larger hole through vitals so animals blead to death. Sometimes they can travel a ways before this happens but at the shot they are for all intents and purposes dead on their feet. Once upon a time to feed my family for cost effectiveness I killed quite a good number of deer with an old WWII bring back 1911A1 Colt 45 ACP. 7 grs Unique pushing a 200 gr SWC cast from wheel weights. I limited my shots to a 50 yards max. Never had to shoot one twice and they usually did not run over 50 yards. That bullet would put a caliber size hole going in and coming out of the rib cage. For jacketed HP bullets Speer Gold Dot and Hornady XTP is hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
