10mm Powder

[Woodycreek]

Started loading for the 10mm with Longshot and 180 grainers. Velocity has been around 1225fps with 9.5gr of longshot but have been looking at n-105 and n-350 for more fps. Anyone a suggestion on powders?

800x, true blue, AA9, blue dot.....

I played with a 10mm for a while and the best loads I got were with Longshot. In fact those loads I used were from Mike McNett (Owner of Double Tap Ammoe) back when he was on the reloading forum on Glock talk.

I will try longshot some more with the 6.6" barrel. Like to know how Double Tap gets 1350fps with the 180s out of a standard 4.5" barrel? Thanks guys!

I would bet it is some creative chronograph work. Anybody can advertise anything. I think we have all seen some outrageous readings roll across the screen. Scotty

 

[Woodycreek]

I plan on getting a few just to see if it's true or not.

 

[SJB358]

Yeah, it would be pretty enlightening actually. Seems like their 44RM stuff is pretty stout also. Scotty

With 9.5 grains of Longshot in a standard length after market barrel I was getting an average of 1282 with 180 grain Gold dots, with a high of 1313 fps.

With 8.8 grains of grains of longshot and beartooth bulles I was getting 1276 fps. That was out of a standard lenght G20 barrel. Out of a G29 standard length after market barrel I was getting on average of 1264 with a 200 grain beatooth FNGC with 8.8 grains of powder.

McNett claims to have contacted a powder company about a specific blend of powder. I have chronographed some of his stuff and found it to be right around what is claimed.

Avg for us has been 1222fps with 180gr Gold Dots out of the standard barrel G20 and 9.5gr of longshot.

 

[SJB358]

Man, those hardcast Beatooth bullets at 1200 would be pretty fearsome on the penetration department. Scotty

 

[C.Smith]

I was shooting the Gold dots out of an aftermarket barrel, which could explain the fps difference. As for the 200 grain bullets that was my woods load, and I did not fear much with those. They were accurate to boot. All this talk is making me want to figure out how to get another G20. It was a great pistol.

I have the Lonewolf 6.6" threaded barrel on the way. Can't wait to shoot it over the Chrono!

Corey, that sounds like a sweet pistol with alot of juice! I can't imagine much taking too many of those! Scotty

 

[C.Smith]

It was, but sadly I had to sell it (well had is probably not an accurate term but close) so I no longer have it. I regret it now, but one of these days I will get another one.

Corey

 

[SJB358]

Pretty interesting. Never messed with much outside of 45's and a darn 9mm. Might have to look into one for the future. Glocks make great carry pistols. Scotty

 

[Woodycreek]

I just ordered some 230gr hardcast Double Tap loads that are going around 1150fps.

 

[C.Smith]

Yes they do. I currently carry one on duty 45 acp and also my back up is a Glock G27. I have used them for the pas 14 years and love them.

Corey

 

[Woodycreek]

Its hard to beat my G23 for my main CCW and my G27 as backup.

 

[BK]

Yep!

800x, true blue, AA9, blue dot.....

The problem I've found with 800x and Blue Dot specifically is very inconsistent charges in a progressive press. If you take the time to weigh each charge they work well in the 10mm and 40. I started using long Shot and never looked back. I'm getting better velocities with lower published pressures than either 800X or BD. You can't beat the consistent charges that powder will throw.
