The idea is to take all information available and then work up a load.. ie, something that won't stick a slug in the barrel or blow up the gun, but will reliably lock the slide back on the last shot and then some.Let's pretend you are down to only the mentioned components; what recipe/what resource would you search to find suitable safe usable reload?
10mm 155g RNL; none of the published recipes you've found fit these? Now what?
You probably already know this, but castboolits may help. I could link if it's allowed.
Well since you put it that way!Putting up links are allowed. Mo' info, mo' bettah!
^I recently posted this link on another thread:
I see some cast 155 gr. loads listed there. If you can't find data for 155 gr, use 165 gr. data. It's not that different and you won't get in trouble with an overcharge. There is 165 gr. cast bullet data on this list as well.
In the absence of cast data, some people simply use low end (or lower) published jacketed bullet data.
Nothing in the cast bullet handbook?Hopefully there's 10mm cast lead published. I've been scanning thru the huge Overload link.
oddly enough I can't seem to locate "155g RNL WSF xx.x" load. I've use that source for years without any issue. So I have some potential other multiple sourced recipes that have a small batch ready for the range. Soon.Nothing in the cast bullet handbook?
thanks, there's a ton of discussion for me to pick thru there. I have yet to find a 10mm 180 load that ~I~ can accurately shoot. I know its a popular weight but somehow doesn't work well for *me*....or as a buddy put it, "WIENIE *me*"...so I'll focus for a while on what does work.Well since you put it that way!
If you roll with a .40S&W load for a starter you should fine. I'd feel very comfy using a .40 max load with that grain bullet for a starter in 10mm. The 10 is a beast I don't think you're being reckless. Gotta do what we gotta do right now. If you can find plated or jacketed data I'd feel okay about starting low and working up or down with that too. Worst case with the lead is you get a dirty leaded barrel. I wouldn't be concerned about over pressure.oddly enough I can't seem to locate "155g RNL WSF xx.x" load. I've use that source for years without any issue.
