Maybe. Hornady's manual shows a 10mm 180gr XTP hollow point producing > 500 ft-lbs at 100 yards if you can push the muzzle velocity above 1400 fps. It shows a 200gr XTP HP exceeding 500 ft-lbs at 100 yds if pushed above 1250 fps. I know that Glock promoted their 10mm as a suitable hunting weapon, although I do not know if they had these requirements in mind. Hope this helps.
