Depending on what you are hunting, I can tell you from personal experience that Winchester 175gr. SilverTips will do a number on a whitetail and mule deer as long as you keep your ranges reasonable. Shot placement is CRITICAL. I have taken two whitetail and one mule deer, longest shot was 35 yards. I have been told that the COR-BON 180gr. HP works well, but I have not tried it yet.

Although hunting with a 10mm may be completely legal in your state, I personally am dead set against it.
Bear in mind that I live in a place where deer are a plague, and tame enough that one can take one by mere manual strangulation. Nevertheless, this county mandates either a shotgun or a bow. Period.
Why is that?
Because you still have a duty to the deer, to kill it humanely, quickly, and surely, preferably with one shot.
The odds of doing that with a pistol of self-defense caliber are much, much worse than the odds of doing it with just about any hunting-legal rifle or shotgun.

Just my personal opinion.
