[QUOTE="surgicalshot, post: 680137, member: 2731"] [b]Re: 10mm "Would the G20 fit the bill?"[/b] Question: Would the G20 fit the bill? Answer: YES I have taken whitetail and mule deer with 45ACP, 40 S&W, 357 MAG, 10mm, 44 mag & 454 Casull; Just to name a few. I have used 40 S&W out to 100 yards with good success. 40 S&W is like a "10mm Short". 10mm is the same bullet with a lot more velocity and more ft lbs. I love the 10mm for a "go to cartridge". I believe even the extra 1" of barrel is better and not worse. My suggestion would be that the 10mm is more then enough cartridge for deer within 100 yards and black bear within 30 yards. BIG QUESTION: Correct bullet placement? I have seen deer shot with a 300 Win MAG where the 300 was not a big enough caliber to take game where the shooter placed the shot. It is not always what caliber used, but location of the bullet impact. Know your cartridge, know ballistics and bullet drop with your barrel. You will be the judge of how far your capable of cleanly taking the game sucessfully. The cartridge is capable as long as we do our part. Next decision is the proper bullet for the game you are taking. For bear I would suggest a solid point to get deepest penetration. Even on deer it is a good bullet. It is alway better to have an entry hole and an exit hole. Hollow points do not always give you an exit hole. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck! Anxious to hear about your hunt. Kirk [/QUOTE]
