I have done alot of research on the 10mm. and am intreged by it, but the cost kept me away. So one day I bought a S&W 1006 used like new for $350.00. I only have experiance with WINCHESTER 10mm. 175 GR. SILVERTIP HP. and CCI BLAZER 10mm. 200 GR. TMJ. I almost never buy new guns, but when I heard that Ruger was going to discontinue the REDHAWK in .45 COLT I bought one in stainless with a 5.5 in. bbl. I bought both of the guns to force myself into reloading. I have been interested in reloading for a long time but have been a little intimadated by it, because when I do something I want to know most everything about it befor I start, and with reloading there is so much information and time involved in working up different loads that I have stayed away because of the time involved, I just don't have enough of it. To solve this problem I made a promise to myself to get set up for reloading before I buy another gun. I will keep this promise, I'm just not shure how long it will take me.
