I figured those were the ones you were talking about, quite a few people don't actually know though.

Load W-231 at 7.2gr behind a 135gr XTP. Chrono's at 1720fps out of a full sized Witness (4.5"). Or, load 6.2gr of W-231 behind a 200gr FMJ and you can split bowling pins at 25yrds. I haven't started showing over-pressure signs yet with mine either, although I did need a 22# spring to keep it from tossing my brass 40'.
The 10mm is as versatile a round as the .357/.38 is. The .40S&W cannot compare in any "real world" sense.
