Anyone have information on the following cartridges. 10MM manufactured by Hornady, 20 round box. A small gold colored stick on label stating "Law Enforcement Load" attached to the box top. Instead of a printed end lable thee is a stick on label stating, 10 MM Auto, 180 gr, 20 Cart. Jacketed HollowPoint,XTP/Subsonic.
Anyone know of a law enforcemnt agency using 10 MM subsonic rounds??

  since the advent of the 40 s&w most have moved from the 10mm to the 40 S&W. I believe the FBI still has a few H&K sub guns that use this round. My 2 cents [8D]

  It's probably what was called the "FBI Load"...if memory serves, the FBI found the 10mm a bit too hot, and downloaded it some...what you have is basically the same a 180 .40 S&W.
