Hey guys,
I am a 10mm reloader and I have yet to settle down on a decent projectile for plinking.
BTW my plinking loads are 180gr sitting on top of 9.4gr of Longshot.
I have tried a few available projectiles but I am looking for some suggestions because nothing I have loaded up so far is very accurate.
What I've tried until now:
180gr LFP - massive leading of the barrel
Berry's 180gr plated - Erratic accuracy
Rainier 180gr plated HP - Erratic accuracy, and strange effect where it looked like part of the hollowpoint expanded in flight?? It wasn't a keyhole, but some of the circles would have a sort of "finger" on the outside edge where the bullet
I don't want to drop Hornady money on these projectiles, but I think something with a FMJ is necessary at 1300fps+
What bullet/charge are you using in your 10mm auto loads?
