Federal Premium has introduced a 10 mm load that restores the full capabilities of the cartridge-the Vital-Shok Trophy Bonded 10 mm Auto.

With a muzzle velocity of 1,275 fps, the new 180-grain jacketed soft point (JSP) shoots flat and packs a powerful punch in semi-automatic pistols. With ballistics that fall between those of the .357 Mag. and .41 Mag., the load gives hunters the power to take down deer, bears or hogs.

The new Trophy Bonded JSP bullet provides optimal terminal performance because it uses some of the proven elements of Federal Premium's Trophy Bonded Bear Claw rifle bullet. The heavy jacket features a formed inner profile that preprograms and controls expansion to ensure deep penetration and high weight retention. A nickel-plated case allows easy and dependable extraction in virtually any 10 mm Auto pistol.
