Most firearms can kill, especially with a well-placed round.

The 10mm is a powerful round and would likely kill a tiger with a few shots, possibly one really good shot. However, oftentimes death is not immediate. So if a tiger were attacking a person who shot it with a 10mm, the tiger could continue its attack even though the wound will eventually kill the tiger.

A fatal shot to the chest, abdomen or leg (severing an artery) would cause the tiger to exsanguinate (bleed out). This could take several minutes, or longer, during which time, Mr. Tiger could be munching you for his last dinner.

A shot to the head, that penetrated the skull would likely incapacitate the tiger until it bled out.

Short answer, yeah..., sure.
