I started out shooting 180gr Buffalo Bore Gold Dots exclusively in 10mm. They worked and they worked well. But...after using garden variety 175gr Winchester and 170gr PMC I have come to the conclusion that there is not a significant real world difference in performance compared to the hot stuff.
Heavy hard cast and FMJ is were hot 10mm really comes into it's own imo. Pushing hollow points faster just means they expand faster and penetrate less. Fine for light game like deer but not what you want for hunting dense game like hog or bear.
