HSM 10mm “Bear Load” 200gr

When the Wilderness Pushes Back, Push Harder.

You're deep in grizzly country, miles from the trailhead, and the only thing between you and a charging bear is what's in your chamber. That's exactly the scenario the HSM 10mm "Bear Load" 200gr was built for. This is not a range round. This is not a self-defense hollow point. This is a purpose-engineered, hard-cast lead load designed to punch through hide, muscle, and bone — and keep going.

Hard-Cast for Maximum Penetration

HSM's Bear Load uses a heavy 200-grain hard-cast lead bullet that resists deformation on impact. Unlike expanding hollow points that sacrifice penetration depth for wound channel diameter, this flat-nose projectile drives deep into large, dangerous game — reaching vitals even through thick muscle mass and heavy bone. When you need a round to stop a threat that weighs 600 pounds and is closing at 30 mph, penetration is everything.

10mm Auto — The Backcountry Cartridge

The 10mm Auto has earned its reputation as the premier semi-automatic cartridge for bear defense. With the HSM Bear Load pushing a 200-grain projectile at approximately 1,200 fps, you get over 600 ft-lbs of muzzle energy — enough to make a serious impression on North America's largest predators. It's the round that backcountry hunters, guides, and wilderness hikers trust when they venture into big bear habitat.

Reliable. Consistent. Uncompromising.

HSM Ammunition is manufactured in Stevensville, Montana — right in the heart of bear country — so they know exactly what this load needs to do. Each round is loaded to consistent specifications with quality brass cases and reliable primers, ensuring smooth feeding and dependable ignition when you need it most.
