Those 10 gauge slugs would probably be like getting hit by a pile driver. Not terribly fast. Just an impact that is going to cause whatever it hits to go down.

Re: Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
If some manufacturer would bring that caliber back for a limited run, I think it would sell well once we recover a little more from the abusive economic warfare of the recent past. There are probably enough who would want one to make it a viable proposition for a limited run.
