10mm Auto vs .40 S&W: Maker-Page Loads and SAAMI Specs Side by Side
This page puts 10mm Auto and .40 S&W side by side using only our own ammo guides, 10mm Auto ammo (29 loads) and .40 S&W ammo (63 loads), plus the cartridge specs SAAMI publishes in ANSI/SAAMI Z299.3-2022. The guides copy bullet weights, velocities, energies and test barrels from maker product pages (checked Nov. 4, 2026). We don't rate or rank cartridges, and we don't subtract one maker's velocity from another's, because their test barrels differ.
How to read this page: every number is copied from a maker page or from SAAMI, and a test barrel length sits next to every velocity. A dash (—) means the maker has no load in our tables for that cartridge. Fire only the cartridge your firearm's maker says it is chambered for.
SAAMI specs side by side
These are the figures in ANSI/SAAMI Z299.3-2022, the centerfire pistol and revolver standard (approved Dec. 13, 2022). Pressures are maximum average pressure by transducer. The same figures appear in our 10mm Auto and .40 S&W guides.

Load ranges by maker and test barrel
Each line groups one maker's loads that share a test barrel, so a velocity is only ever shown with the barrel it was measured in. Ranges are bullet weight and muzzle velocity as the maker page prints them. Do not read across makers: their barrels and bullets differ.
| Maker | 10mm Auto loads in our table | .40 S&W loads in our table |
|---|---|---|

Same maker, same line, both cartridges
Where one maker sells the same product line in both cartridges, the loads are listed here side by side exactly as the maker pages print them. We match lines by the maker's own product-line page (Hornady by load name). Compare only within a row, and check the test barrel in each cell.

What the sources say when you choose
These are points taken from the figures above, each with the page it rests on. They are not recommendations or scores.
- If pressure rating is your question: SAAMI lists a maximum average pressure of 37,500 psi for 10mm Auto and 35,000 psi for .40 S&W (transducer). Source: SAAMI Z299.3-2022.
- If bullet weight is your question: the 10mm Auto loads in our table run from 135 gr (Hornady Handgun Hunter 91267) to 205 gr (Federal Syntech Range AE10SJ1). The .40 S&W loads run from 120 gr (Federal American Eagle Indoor Range Training Lead Free AE40LF1) to 205 gr (Federal Syntech Action Pistol AE40SJAP1). Sources: those maker pages.
- If you want to see the printed velocities: the slowest and fastest 10mm Auto muzzle velocities in our table are 1,030 fps, 5 in test barrel (Federal American Eagle Handgun AE10A) and 1,410 fps, 5 in test barrel (Hornady Custom 9122). For .40 S&W they are 785 fps, test barrel not listed (Remington Golden Saber Defense Compact 27618) and 1,330 fps, 4 in test barrel (Federal American Eagle Indoor Range Training Lead Free AE40LF1). These come from different barrels and bullets, so we show them side by side without a difference. Sources: those maker pages.
- If you are comparing against a box or a chronograph: SAAMI's velocity test barrel is 5.000 in for 10mm Auto and 4.000 in for .40 S&W, and maker pages often list a different barrel or none, as the table above shows. A shorter barrel than the one a maker lists will likely give lower velocities than the box. Source: SAAMI Z299.3-2022 and the maker pages linked above.
- If chamber fit is your question: SAAMI publishes a separate cartridge drawing for each, with case length .992 in (−.010) for 10mm Auto and .850 in (−.010) for .40 S&W, and bullet diameter .4005 in (−.0030) and .4005 in (−.0030). Check the cartridge named in your firearm's manual or marked on its barrel. Source: SAAMI Z299.3-2022.
Not yet verified
- Winchester and SIG Sauer loads are not in either guide's table (see the "Not yet verified" section of each guide).
- Prices, recoil, accuracy and hands-on results are not in our data, so this page says nothing about them.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SAAMI maximum pressure for 10mm Auto and .40 SandW?
SAAMI lists 37,500 psi for 10mm Auto and 35,000 psi for .40 SandW, both measured by transducer, in ANSI/SAAMI Z299.3-2022.
Do 10mm Auto and .40 SandW use the same bullet diameter?
SAAMI lists .4005 in (−.0030) for 10mm Auto and .4005 in (−.0030) for .40 SandW in ANSI/SAAMI Z299.3-2022.
Which test barrel do the makers list?
It varies by maker and load. SAAMI's velocity test barrel is 5.000 in for 10mm Auto and 4.000 in for .40 SandW. Our tables show the barrel each maker page lists next to every velocity, and some pages list none.
Which is better, 10mm Auto or .40 SandW?
We don't rate or rank cartridges. This page copies maker-page figures and SAAMI specs side by side, and it does not cover price, recoil or hands-on results.
Where do these numbers come from?
From our own ammo guides (10mm Auto ammo and .40 S&W ammo), which copy maker product pages, and from SAAMI Z299.3-2022.
