How are you guys doing? I've been doing some handloading for my 10mm and have been curious about what actual velocities I'm getting, rather than the max velocities posted/printed in reloading guides. I'm using CCI large pistol primers, with 9.5/10.5/11.5 grains of blue dot powder pushing a 165 gr. copper plated bullet out of a 5" 1911 barrel. Since I don't have a chrono I was hoping you guys could give me some velocities I might be achieving and if you don't shoot what I shoot maybe you could tell me what you're chronoing with whatever loads you're using. I'm new to the reloading world and just want some examples and preferences to go by.
P.S. If you load hot I respect that but it's just not for me, I'll only go to factory spec maxes.
Edit:
It seems to me that every time a 10mm thread is started history about the Norma, the actual use for the rounds, what pistol is the best for 10mm, etc. . .
All I'm looking for is a little experience with whomever has chrono'd their own handloaded 10mm rounds and what the results were. Please let's just keep this conversation on this topic. To everyone who's helped me out so far, thank you very much.
