Deer hunting for the first time

NO I wouldn't try for a Elk.

I was thinking about the Underwood xtreme penetrator or higher grain hollow point.

It seems like with the 10mm for hunting all the companies have you choose between deep penetration or expansion (hollowpoint).

I have a box of Double Tap 200g Hardcast wide flat nose... (Ballistics : 1300fps/ 750 ft./lbs. - Glock 20)
10mm 200gr Hardcast Solid™ 50rds.

(Underwood has a nearly identical load for way less money.... <broken link removed> )

but Double Tap also makes a 200g hollowpoint that offers controlled expansion.
10mm 200gr. Controlled Expansion JHP 50rds.

Im not certain if it makes much practical difference though, thats what I'm trying to decide.

I'd go for penetration vs expansion if your hunting with a 10mm

Just be careful where you shoot your load
