How dat? The .45 has more case capacity. Unless you are talking some decrepit design vs. a modern one, the .45 trumps the 10. This is especially true if you reload. The 10 can be bought in pretty much maximum loads. Maybe the .45 can too. I'm not familiar enough with all .45 offerings to know. It certainly used to be the case that the .45 was pretty underloaded.

They're both great auto cartridges. The .45 just holds more.
I'm talking about factory loadings and SAAMI specs.
Really?
