wow,  thanks.  that answered a lot of questions.  where does the 10 mm pistol fit in the charts?   i did not know there were so many dang bullets.  mike w

The 10 sits between the 357mag and 41mag in terms of performance.

I would imagine 45 long colt would be the longest "common" casing...
a little less common would be 30 carbine....

[high country]

454 is a longer 45lc, 460smith is a longer 454....460 is a monster.

Split shot, why are you asking?

[yorketransport]

454 is a longer 45lc, 460smith is a longer 454....460 is a monster.

The 460 and 500 S&W are probably the winners for standard factory rounds. The 45-70 sort of counts since it is chambered a couple of different handguns.

  i am asking cuz several guys and myself were in a flyfishing meeting last nite and the discussion got to comparing 45,to 44, to 41, to 40, to 357.  and put the 10 mm in the list.   and we are here trying to find answers to the longest between these and which is the most powerful.  please dont go to the 45/94 or the 600 nitro as they are not regular calibers.  thanks for asking. 

[splitshot]

oops forgot to sign out,  mikew,  mike w    wish everyone would do that.  thanks again

There is nothing that compares to the 460......it's plain old badazz. 10's are just a fluffy 40 with a fat handle.
