PMC Bronze Line 10mm Auto 170 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point (MPN: 10B)
Handgun hunters, backcountry anglers, and tactical marksmen running 10mm Auto pistols or carbines require a high-velocity load that delivers reliable expansion, deep vital penetration, and clean cycling. PMC engineered their Bronze Line 170-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) load specifically to bridge the gap between target practice and field performance. Purpose-built to provide shooters with affordable, high-energy hollow point performance, this cartridge delivers controllable recoil, consistent expansion mechanics, and excellent overall accuracy downrange.
Manufactured under strict ISO-9001 quality guidelines, each cartridge in PMC's Bronze Hunting series features a precision-formed 170-grain jacketed hollow point bullet. The notched copper jacket controls terminal mushrooming upon impact, ensuring deep wound channels while preventing jacket-core separation. PMC seats these JHP projectiles into factory-fresh, heavy-walled reloadable brass cases charged with clean-burning propellants and non-corrosive boxer primers, ensuring smooth feeding across steep feed ramps and minimal unburnt powder buildup inside slide rails and striker channels.
Out on the range or in the woods, expect snappy, positive slide operation and flat trajectories out of full-size 10mm handguns and pistol-caliber carbines. Leaving the muzzle at approximately 1,200 FPS, this 170-grain payload generates over 540 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, providing the ideal pressure curve to cycle semi-automatic handguns cleanly while remaining highly controllable during follow-up shots. The high-grade drawn brass cases feature uniform primer pockets and rim tolerances, making this 25-round box an exceptional choice for outdoor defense, field hunting, and gathering premium reloadable 10mm brass.
Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance
Shipping Restrictions: Ammunition sales are strictly regulated. Check all state and local laws prior to ordering. Cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. Must ship via ORM-D / Hazardous Ground transport.
Armorer Tip: The 10mm Auto generates higher slide velocities than standard service calibers like 9mm or .45 ACP. When running high round counts through polymer or metal-framed 10mm handguns, periodically inspect your recoil spring assembly and guide rod for wear, replacing springs every 3,000–5,000 rounds to prevent frame battering and ensure consistent battery lockup.
