Thinking about a solution to an issue I'm having. I've worked up a pretty stout load in my S&W 610 using 200gr XTPs, and at this velocity they don't seem to hold together very well. It almost seems as though they come apart worse than a 180 XTP travelling faster.
The problem I'm seeing in all of the 40 cal bullet offerings is that they are designed for 40 cal velocities- it'd be nice if there was a heavy offering that was designed for 10mm velocities. Seems the round is gaining popularity these days. I could possibly use FMJ but there would be no expansion, I'd love to see a heavy JSP but I can't find one. I'm not really interested in hard cast, I suppose it'd work but I'd have to slow them way down.
I have a preference for XTPs in my handguns and was thinking, would it be posible to use some sort of pointing die to close up the hollow point some & possibly keep the rounds together better? Does that make any sense?
Heck, they might fly better, too Last week it took me 4 shots to whack the 15" gong @ 300 yds, off hand, that was pretty exciting!
