So i got to test some new Home grown rounds today at shore shot.

 

9MM-

125 gr SWC- 4.3 gr of W231 @ 1.125 OAL = Shot high compared to its round nose counterpart. i was surprised. some FTF due to cheap Tula primers.Will never buy those again

 

45 ACP-

200 gr LSWC under 5.5 gr of W231 @ 1.245 OAL= once again used cheap primers causing FTF. But it was dead on accurate

185 gr XTP under 5.9 gr of W231 @ 1.230&1.200 OAL - both were not very accurate. Light load, will need to go up in powder

 

.357 MAG

158 gr LSWC under 13.8 gr. of 2400 - Deadly accurate, not much recoil. (maybe because i shot the 44 before this )

 

10MM Auto***help***

200 gr lead out of a Glock 20 @ 1.260-1.265 OAL

*Lone wolf barrel

I went by the lee and hodge data and found it to be such a light load the slide didnt even want to engage. and it would catch open on the last round

tested at

4.3 gr of W231 - slide wouldn't move

4.8gr of W231 barely enough to move slide

5.3gr of W231 - felt like shooting soft 38 spcl

 

LEE says 4.2-5.5 gr (870fps-1030fps)

Hodge says 4.6-5.6 gr (827-1011)

 

***but my lyman says - 5.6-6.3 (985-1067) I should have stuck with lyman

 

Any insight on the 10mm?

 

Thanks guys

I think I see your problem here - isn't the bullet supposed to go on top????

 

Kidding aside, your problem with the primers may not have been because they were cheap and malfunctioned - but because they are hard. Russian primers have that reputation.

 

Adios,

LOL That really did make me laugh bob thanks

Im also buying new powder tomorrow. What should i get for the 10milly...

 

it looks like 800x gives the best results with 200 gr lead > 7.6 gr of 800x @ 1119 fps with 29.200 CUP ***MAx***

=556 Ft/LBS

 

While power pistol gives the best with 180 gr. @ 8gr. with 1200 fps 28.900 CUP

 

 

 

=584 Ft/LBS

But the goal is to get 200 gr to fly over 1200 fps. Im not sure how

or

Achieve 650 Ft/LBS

10MM Auto***help***

200 gr lead out of a Glock 20

 

You are not supposed to shoot lead out of a Glock barrel. I know some people do it but you never know when the lead build up will cause an over pressure that results in a KB.

Then you are fine. I hope you edited the post or did I did miss that?

I forgot to add that. Sorry Col.

 

I loaded up some 10mm out of my Lyman manual @ 5.8 gr. I have to try them out
