Cost of Reloading the 10mm

[critrxdoc]

Okay guys, for those of you that reload this beast, how much does it cost you per box to create rounds like you would buy from DoubleTap, etc?

I load this round down a bit with hard cast bullets(Laser-cast from Oregon Bullets) and once fired brass that i received free. My cost is somewhere between 3.50 and 4.00 bx/50 since I buy all my components in bulk. If I load a premium jacket load I estimate my cost is 8.00-8.50 a box. I have not figured in the empty case, box, or my time. I enjoy shooting and reloading the 10 mm cartridge and am very disappointed that more shooters haven't picked up on this useful round.

Reloading the 10 doesn't cost any more than a 9mm or anything else, assuming you use the same type bullets. I load for a DE and G20. Blue Dot is excellent. I use Starline cases and 180 Speer GD's. Smokin' rounds that don't bulge in my Glock

Concur with redneck2. As a side note, if you want to go nuclear then try 800X.

Cost? a few cents for lead bullet, a few cents for used brass (reloadable may times) a few cents for primer and powder. You can look up the prices on the web; pretty cheap, like all pistol reloads.

800x - great stuff! I have been building/testing some loads based on Double Tap data. Am going to get some mag primers today for the first time. And my new chrono is due any day - wanna guess what happened to the old one?!?

Wasn't bullet proof was it?

ARggghh....

I made the mistake (?) of renting a Glock 20, now I'm bitten by the 10mm bug. And I"m going to have to pick up the reloading hobby in order to feed it.

For someone like me who has never reloaded before, what is a good book/manual to start with to get smart on it?
