The very hottest of the 10mm loads are similar to a .41 Remington magnum. 10mm from buffalo bore gets 1200ft/sec and 700 ft lbs and the same load in 44 magnum gets 1450ish and 1650ish respectively. A little bit faster but double the ft lbs, it's because the 44 mag is a 330 grain bullet while the 10mm is 220 grain (hard cast). So in the case of a bear, I'd prefer the 44 that's gonna hit like a truck but as y'all have said capacity comes up too. 10mm is fine for most North American bears though I think.
