Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns .45 vs 10 mm

I have pushed a lot of cartridges to the real limit.

A) The weakest cartridge:
10mm

B) Very weak cartridges:
30 carbine
25acp
7.62x39mm

C) Average cartridges:
40sw, 9mm, 45acp

D) Above average cartridges
22-250, 243, 6mm Rem, 250 Savage, 257 Roberts, 25-06, 260 Rem, 6.5x55 [US brass], 270, 7mm-08, 7x57mm, 280, 300Sav, 308, 7.62x51mm, 30-06, 8x57mm, 338F, 358, and 35W

E) Strong cartridges
6.5mm RemMag, 7mm RemMag, 8mmRemMag, 264 WinMag, 300 H&H Mag, 300 WinMag, 338 WinMag, 350 RemMag, 375 H&H Mag, 458 WinMag

F) Super strong cartridges:
223Rem, 222Rem, .222 Rem Mag, 204 Ruger, and 17Rem

G) Cartridge so strong, the primer will pierce before the primer pocket grows:
32 S&W, 38 S&W, 22BR, 6mmBR, 6x47mm, 6.5x47mm, 7mmBR, 30BR, Lapua small primer 308

There is a guy out there on the internet that can calculate all this with Von Misses equations. I have to measure it.
It is not rocket science to get the answers. Cross section a 45acp case head and a 10mm case head.
The brass between the extractor groove and the large Boxer primer pocket in a 10mm case head is paper thin. Duh!
