Yep, that’s what I carry on the trail.
“Pistol whip? You watch too much TV”
That may be true, lol, but I’m also a hunter. I question the sanity of anyone who would select a 10mm for that purpose.
I was really heavy into hand loading until around 20 years ago.
Norma brass was always heavier than other brands. You had to watch you maximum loads as they also had less capacity.
Thank you sir! I just ordered 3 boxes. I spoke to one of their techs on the phone. Very friendly and helpful.

I use mine for hiking
For the heck of it, there's a video out there of Lehigh Defender vs. other rounds against some grade of bullet proof glass - interesting results.
Once I saw a black bear in Canada that was as big as the front of an old school four wheel drive Bronco that I was in. He crossed the road in front of us. There are legendary creatures out there, those are the ones you run into when you’re outgunned.
That reminds me of the Son Tay Prison Camp raid. They would build a replica of it every day, then take it down while a Russian Satellite passed over.
Colonel Bull Simons who led the raid lived not far from us.
Oops! I posted that on the wrong thread.
About 350 is about as big as I see them here, no need to lug an N frame around. 10mm cast has the oomph to penetrate head to tail. I switch to 180gn hp when I’m only worried about mountain lions.
Semi-funny story; back during the great ammo shortage a few years ago I went to Academy Sports to see what ammo they had. There were boxes and boxes of 10mm and little else. I decided I would buy a 10mm pistol and a few boxes of ammo. They had no 10mm guns, just the ammo.
