10MM Loads

[CZF]

People say the Blue Dot powder produces a lot of flash.
I tried some in 10mm and get little to no flash. Wonder if i am loading
too light? My 2400 loads were downright spectacular, much like the
Winchester Silvertip.

Anyone shoot 200 gr. Hornady XTPs? What is good ammo for deer hunting
with the 10MM?

I would suggest that you look at www.doubletapammo.com for top-notch factory ammo. For reloads, 2400 is a terrible powder for 10mm, but BD is great. What grain bullet? What charge were you using? What primer? Also what OAL?

Hey CZF,

I have tried some other powders like 2400 and Unique, but Blue Dot seems to work the best for my Megastar 10mm. Actually, I never liked 2400 much anyway; it always seemed to leave a lot of dirty residue behind. By the way, what pistol are you shooting in your photo? I cannot make out just what it is.

Best wishes,
Dave Wile

I'm using AA No. 7 (I think it's no 7) for 10mm and .41 Mag.

No flash, very clean, and great performance.

I've had some very good results with AA #9 and the Hornady 200 gr. XTP-HP bullet.

As usual, be very careful with full power or max loads. A load that was safe as far as pressures in my G20 w/a Bar-Sto bbl. was not so safe in my Colt Delta Elite.

I experienced no damaging results but due to the lack of support in the OEM Colt barrel compared to the Bar-Sto in the Glock, brand new Star Line brass expanded and bulged to the point that they had to be discarded after only one firing.

In the picture, it looks like CZF's firing a Witness (with the silvery-gray "Wonderfinish.")

Yep, looks like it has the LPA adjustable rear sight as well.
