I'm thinkin', without reading this whole thread (sorry, lazy) that one could probably not equal .357 magnum carbine performance with a 10mm's small case. All that slow powder in the .357 really shines out of a 20" barrel, like 2100 fps with a 158 grain JHP or 1900 fps with a gas checked 165 grain SWC. THAT treads on low end .30-30 territory from the rifle. Same gun fires a 105 grain SWC to 900 fps from .38 special brass, 1.5" at 50 yards accurate (minute of squirrel). This makes for a very versatile hunting rifle, what I really like about it. I own 3 revolvers in the caliber and one's a Blackhawk (matches the western look
), but really like the little Rossi 92 on it's own merits regardless of having a handgun in matching caliber. Both the 92 and the Blackhawk have taken deer. No hog or deer is safe from 100 yards and in from the rifle.
