So what’s everyone’s go to 10mm loads? I’ll be getting a couple (1 for me and 1 for my father) ruger sr1911’s in 10mm. I’ve never loaded 10mm before, load plenty of other calibers though. Mainly looking for a good starting point, we tend to like the more beefier loads.
For target loads, Xtreme 180gr bullets are awesome.
We do have a package deal on the website with Brass and bullets.
For heavy hitters in the woods, the 200gr XTP are a great one.
I like blue dot or power pistol for heavy hitting 180gr or 200gr loads.

I like a heavy hard cast bullet for woods use. I don't use the 10mm for anything else really anymore, so I've only been loading 200gr lead cup nose with 800x.
Gonna try some of Wes’s 180gr, will let ya know how they work out. Now I gotta go sharpen the axe so I can open it up from what I hear! 😁
I do like me the 200gr lead cast with gas check for a woods walk or for hiking. Planning on trying out some nosler 150gr sporting handgun for a generic target shoot all.

180gr Gold Dot powered by a healthy dose of Blue Dot. For practice, the same powder load behind 180gr X-treme from Wes Sage
Thanks buddy!!
Get the axe and chainsaw ready :)Quote:

Ok so I got the guns and like a little kid with a new toy i went straight to the range! They ran great, atleast mine did, gonna let him fire the first shots out of his. So my question is I tried 2 different charges with hp-38 (I use it for all my other pistols, well most so I’m trying to keep with it) the min is 5.2 and max 5.8. I’m using extremes 180gr. My issue is that even the highest load I tried was 5.5gr and they didn’t seem to have the power that the box of factory I ran the first day. With extremes being plated I was trying to stay away from max but do you think I can push them a little farther? I’m not seeing any pressure signs so far.
The Extremes are rated for up to 1500fps, you should be able to push them harder. Just work up to it.

Blue dot and 180's Starline brass
Was gonna try and push these a little more then was going to blue dot and yep already got a box of star line
Recoil means nothing!!
Without a chronograph, who knows what the bullet is doing.
Those factory loads may have fast burning powder for a ton of recoil and flash, and may be 1000fps loads.
Never judge power by recoil and flash, that usually just means crappy loads.
I loaded 10mm with AA#9 powder and the same bullet. Limited recoil and 1300+ FPS

I am getting ready to load Blue Dot and 155 extremes. Load book shows I should get about 1350 fps at 12 grains.

Always inspect your brass
Power Pistol works well for me with 180 grain coated bullets.
All I have shot in my G40 is 180gr bullets. I was wondering whether to purchase the 165gr/brass combo or stick with the 180r for range shooting.
Thanks in advance......Art
I use the 165gr xtreme hp for range plinking very enjoyable lower recoilQuote:

I don't have a 10mm yet, but I do really like Power Pistol. Seems to meter well and perform well in everything that I use it in.Quote:

I really like the Hornady HAP 180 or 200 grain bullets. Shoot well out of both my 10mm"s.
