| I've been following my uncle's recipe, using his press for 10mm loads. I don't have the card in front of me, but I think it is 9.1 grains of VihtaVuori N105 powder for a 180 grain projectile. Since I am about to get my own press up and running, I was wondering if there were any other powders that I should be considering? I know that VihtaVuori is pretty much an order only item as no one around here stocks it and he always ordered his. |

I only wish it came in 4 lbs. containers. |

But you know how that goes for someone diving into a hobby for the first time, I want to try other stuff too.  |

I use AA #7 for .380acp to 10mm. Have used it for nearly 20 years, found no need to try anything else. Flows from your measure like water. I stopped using AA7 because it gummed up the charge bar on my 550B really bad due to how fine the grains are. I had to disassemble the powder drop every 200 rounds or so to clean it because it was binding so badly. |

CFE is slowly making it's way into my normal 10mm powders. |

I loaded up some 180gr HST pulls with 800x and was right at 1400fps
I went to Longshot and was just short of the 1400 of the 800x I settled with Longshot at about 1340fps, I dropped back from the max. These were both with virgin Starline brass, I would not load once fired brass to these pressures. Longshot was a good performer and meters well. If I was making up some hard cast loads and needing max velocity I would go with the 800x and weigh each charge. |

Hi; just started loading 10mm; here's the mix I'm using...
BULLET - Rainier 155gr. flat nosed FMJ POWDER - AA #9 - 14 grains (as per Lyman 49th Edition loading manual) PRIMER - CCI 300 Large Pistol (non-Magnum) BRASS - Virgin Starline. I will be firing these out of a Colt Delta Elite 1911 Govet. Model with a Barsto barrel. I have already loaded a test batch of 16 bullets for testing. What do you guys think? Cool Story Bro? 
Dibs?

| I mostly use my 10mm for deer hunting, so I am looking for max / near max loads with 180 or 200 grain bullets. Longshot has become my favorite power. It meters great, accuracy is very good, and velocities are fantastic. A close second is Bluedot, but it doesn't meter as well as Longshot, and the muzzle flash is huge. Before discovering Longshot, AA #7 was my powder of choice. |
| Another vote for IMR 800X. I use it to push 180 gr and 200gr XTP from my S&W 610. 1300fps with the 180gr and 1250 with the 200gr bullet. Took two does with that setup this season. Meters poorly but a scale and trickle charger fixes that. Not loading huge volume so weight 50-100 charges is not big deal. It's reasonable clean and no flash. |

Dibs? That load is really close to my 158gr XTP .357 Magnum load. Is that bullet a true Full Metal Jacket or only a plated bullet? Have to keep an eye on velocities with plated, plating can "peel" off at high speeds. Most manufacturers claim they're good to 1500fps, I have found this to be wishful thinking. |
