Cost-per-round is a major driver for many ammunition, gun, or caliber choices.<\/p>\n<p>However, in this case, you will rarely find a significant difference in prices for these two rounds.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing this article, you could expect to pay in the ballpark of 65-cents per round for good range ammo in both 10mm and 44 magnum. Ammunition with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/jacketed-hollow-point-bullets\/\">hollow point bullets<\/a> for self-defense will run you a little bit more and to get a load most of us would be comfortable with is about a buck per round in each caliber.<\/p>\n<h3>10mm vs. 44 Mag Size Comparison<\/h3>\n<p>The other main difference is the size. Whether you are looking at a listing of measurements, or holding both cartridges in your hand, you\u2019ll immediately see that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/index.php\/cName\/pistol-ammo-44-magnum\">.44 Magnum ammunition<\/a> is clearly larger. From bullet size to rim diameter to overall length, the .45 Magnum is a bigger, heavier round, which comes into play when we start comparing statistics.<\/p>\n<h3>Handgun Options<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-mag-revolver-cylinder-open.jpg\" alt=\"A 44 magnum Smith &amp; Wesson revolver with ammo in the cylinder\" width=\"1500\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-mag-revolver-cylinder-open.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-mag-revolver-cylinder-open-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-mag-revolver-cylinder-open-1024x631.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These two cartridges are generally used in very different handguns. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/index.php\/cName\/pistol-ammo-10mm\">10mm Auto ammo<\/a>, as the name suggests, was made for semiautomatic pistols, while the .44 Magnum is commonly used in revolvers.

There are variations in size, design, intended purpose, and load quality that can drastically change the stats of various cartridges. To make our comparison, we\u2019ve selected three pairs of comparable products; each pair is from the same product line, one for the 10mm Auto and one for the .44 Magnum.<\/p>\n<p>The first pair is from PMC Ammunition\u2019s Bronze line of JHP round. The 10mm Auto uses 170 grain bullets, while the .44 Magnum has 180 grain bullets. This gives a good comparison, as the bullets are similar in size.<\/p>\n<p>The second is from Hornady\u2019s XTP line, with 180-grain 10mm rounds and 200 grain .44 Magnum rounds. Once again, the similar (but not the same) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/bullet-grain\/\">bullet size<\/a> gives us a close comparison point.<\/p>\n<p>The third pair, which are Barnes VOR-TX products, is possibly the best comparison, as it clearly shows the difference between these two cartridges. The 10mm Auto uses 155-grain bullets, while the .44 Magnum uses 225-grain bullets.<\/p>\n<p>This is clearly a small sample size, but it does give us a good framework for comparing these two cartridges.<\/p>\n<h3>Muzzle Velocity Comparison<\/h3>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-60\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-60\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Ammunition<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Muzzle Velocity<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Velocity at 50 Yards<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">10mm - PMC Bronze 170 Gr.

A bullet\u2019s speed impacts energy, accuracy, and more, so it\u2019s often the focus for many ammunition discussions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">The velocity numbers shown above clearly demonstrate that the .44 Magnum is the faster round. Not only does it hold the fastest speed (both muzzle and 50 yards) among all six products that we looked at, it is faster in all three comparison pairs. The 10mm Auto is certainly not a slow round, and with muzzle speeds consistently over 1,000 fps, it would be the winner in numerous cartridge comparisons. But thanks to the speed of the .44 Magnum, it takes a clear 2nd place in <i>this<\/i> comparison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><strong><i>Winner: .44 Magnum<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>10mm vs 44 Magnum Energy<\/h3>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-61\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-61\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Ammunition<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Muzzle Energy<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Energy at 50 Yards<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">10mm - Hornady 180 Gr.

It\u2019s known for outstanding power; one of the cartridge we looked at had a listed muzzle energy over 1,200 ft-lbs!

Following the Federal Bureau of Investigation&#8217;s protocol for testing ammo, we shot a Barnes VOR-TX 10mm and 44 Magnum round through a 4-layer fabric barrier and into the gel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-mag-bullet-in-gel.jpg\" alt=\"Barnes 44 magnum bullet into gelatin\" width=\"1500\" height=\"791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-mag-bullet-in-gel.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-mag-bullet-in-gel-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-mag-bullet-in-gel-1024x540.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In our testing, the 10mm and 44 magnum rounds performed somewhat similarly. The 10mm penetrated about 2-inches deeper into the gelatin (14.8&#8243; vs. 12.5&#8243;). In the case of both calibers, the penetration fell within the FBI&#8217;s &#8220;acceptable&#8221; range of 12 to 18-inches.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at expansion, both rounds showed the type of flowering that we like to see. The 44 magnum bullet expanded slightly more than the 10mm (.82&#8243; to .8&#8243;). In both cases, this gives you a much larger potential wound channel than what you&#8217;d get with a smaller pistol caliber, like 9mm.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6437\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6437\" style=\"width: 1442px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6437 size-full\" title=\"10mm vs 44 magnum bullet expansion\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/expanding-bullets.jpg\" alt=\"Expanded bullets pulled from ballistic gelatin\" width=\"1442\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/expanding-bullets.jpg 1442w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/expanding-bullets-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/expanding-bullets-1024x432.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1442px) 100vw, 1442px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6437\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The recovered 10mm bullet on the left compared to the 44 magnum bullet on the right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The size of the recovered bullets would be a sight most self-defense shooters would be reassured by. Both calibers are clearly great handgun choices when it comes to self-defense if you&#8217;re looking at the argument from the perspective of power. Of course, both of these loads deliver significant recoil compared to smaller pocket pistols. We might also note, no handgun caliber can hold a candle to much faster rifle loads when it comes to self-defense.<\/p>\n<h3>Making the Choice<\/h3>\n<p>Choosing between these two cartridges can be difficult, but it seems the 10mm Auto may be better for personal protection, while the .44 Magnum is best for hunting and large-game pursuits. The massive power of the .44 Magnum can make it difficult for even the most experienced shooters to handle, while the 10mm Auto is usually easier for follow-up shots, which can be critical in self defense. Plus, if you&#8217;re planning to carry a firearm, you&#8217;ll get more carrying capacity with most 10mm semi-automatics than a 6-shot revolver.<\/p>\n<p>So if you hunt large game, or if you simply enjoy the large boom of a big-bore handgun, the .44 Magnum may be right for you. But if you want something more manageable (and some would argue more practical), the 10mm Auto may be your best choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A side by side look at two large handgun calibers, the 10mm vs 44 magnum.
