Stout load. I also had a complete pass through kinda made me wonder what a lighter bullet would do. I would post a pic but cant figure out how to do it anymore.

That looks like a great deer load for the 10mm!
It is the ballistic twin of the *180 grain 38WCF, (aka .38-40), load introduced in 1881. Earlier .38WCF rounds were loaded with a 160 grain bullet.
*When that black powder .40 caliber round was fired from a 24 inch rifle barrel.
