[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 2832169, member: 120824"] You can load the 10mm pretty hot as well. When it comes to penetration, bullet construction is as important if not more so than anything else. A solid copper 22LR will get deeper than a 45 with super wide hollow points, or a frangible. I load the leighigh 165gr xtreme defense in my 44 mag. At 2000fps, they'll go through a bear. I'm of the opinion that energy is irrelevant. Shot placement on the CNS is all that matters in this scenario, if not a CNS hit, you at least need a heart or lungs. [/QUOTE]
