Well; I just returned from the range. In response to ljnowell's implications that I am taking a coin flipping technique to come up with my loads, I
set out to test the enlightened ones theory. Although my original loads showed no indications
of overloading, in that there was no primer flattening, cases were landing within 3 feet, no case head issues of any kind, etc, etc,. I was aware of Accurate arms page and the 11.8 grain load. I had
other input and prior experience with proportionately more aggressive loads in my 454
Casull and Laser Cast bullets (no problems)
You know what is funny, is that if I do a search in this forum, other than mine , nobody has posted
any loads for the 10mm. All I got was ljnowell
regurgitating Accurate arms numbers but not one
personal load to provide any real guidance.
OK. I loaded 50 rounds with brand new Starline Brass. I used the Steelers with 11.5 grains of #9
with CCI 300 primers, at 1.25 COAL. Each case individually weighed and verified. The results
were the same accuracy and plenty of leading.
I will be cleaning for a while. I am not putting down MCB and it's bullets, I was just posting an observation. I actually like the quality of the bullet. I was hoping this forum would provide the same type of help that one can find on Glock Talk
with actual input on load data and less on evaluating ones technique.
Good day and happy loading
In the interest of fairness and full disclosure, I wanted to post a followup to my previous post.
When I got the barrel out in the sun light I have to admit that there was a lot less indications of lead
than previously thought. The initial cleaning went well and the gun only failed to chamber one time
as opposed to numerous times previously.
This serves to illustrate my point about providing
actual data to build on and leave the criticisms
out.
Your post illustrates a less than High Road attitude. No one talked down to you at all, yet you still come here with an attitude. I pointed out to you that your load that experienced leading, the only load you tested, was over max. If that upset you, too bad.
This is the high road. We advocate manners, and among other things, proper and safe reloading in this sub-forum. If you do not like that, then perhaps this is the wrong place for you.
I also find it funny you would refer to me as the "enlightened one." I will assure you one thing, when you post things like that you will find that everyone, not just the "enlightened one" will be done helping you. That just doesnt go here.
Now, I will give you one more little bit, before I ignore all of your posts entirely. Looking for flattened primers in a pistol load is not going to work. When you start finding flattened primers, with most primers, you are well into dangerous territory. The only thing you have to go by is chronograph, and published data, which I "regurgitated" to you. It seems you want someone to give you a magic number that wont cause leading. All guns are different, you need to work a load from min to max to find what works, and if it doesnt, then you switch powder. I dont know why I would tell you this, you have made it plain that you have mastered reloading and simply need someone to give you a load that doesnt lead.
PS I am a member on GlockTalk reloading forum too, and post everyday. You already know me there under another name if you post there regularly. Hate to tell you this, but anytime you post that you started above max load and have leading, you will get someone posting manufacturers data.
