    200gr plated hollow points.

    The only issue I have is the powder. None of the other powders I have are listed in my hornady book except unique which I have but the velocity looks very low. 6.4gr = 1000 fps. ( max charge)

    The other powders I have- titegroup, h110, cfeblk.

    Anybody do any 10mm loading with these above powders??

    I know most published loads are for 4 inch+ barrels. (Pistol) and the longer barrel 16 inch should make more zip.

    Will be using in the 16 inch carbine. (TNW AERO) tks. J

    So, how fast do you want to push them ? And doesn't the
    manufacture have a suggest max speed for your plated bullets ?

    Bullets I got from a member. Don't know the make. Hp's with full jacket with domed bases. 10mm Bonded hp is hand written on a card in the box.

    I do not think that those bullets are GD's. The jacket looks too thin.
    Plated bullets. ---- SAWMAN

    Was thinking the thinner jacket might be a good thing. Maximum splat on target. Have to start loading soon, running out of factory 10mm ammo and don't want to pay +35 a box for fmj. Checked styx river yesterday, $45 a pound for powder and they did not have blue dot.

    When you get 25 loaded,show us a picture.
    Please do not reload if you are unsure how to safely accomplish this.
    The 10mm is a high pressure rd. There are several things about reloading it that are critical for propper feeding,fireing,and ejection. THIS,depending on the firearm.

    Yep, safety first. It will take awhile to get the dies properly setup. Lots of fiddling the loadmaster is picky. Stopped by basspro on the way home no #9 powder or any powder for that matter. They did have 155 gr ftx bullets though. Passed on em as I have about 750 180 and 200 gr hps. Plenty of testing, practice/hunting bullets.

    Just about there. Backed it off to .82. 12.5gr. (Powder) Figured no point in overrevving the bullet because the 16 inch barrel is going to make more fps. This charge on a 200gr bullet 5 inch barrel makes 1100. Trying to make +1000 fps @50 yards. That seems to be the magic # for deer hunting.

    1st one!
    Got to adjust the depth of the primer out a bit. Just Under maximum lenght. No bulge where the bullet was pressed into the case. Test chambered in g20 from mag, Perfect. Using 4 die lee set.
    There is a slight sharp edge at the bullet where the case lip is. I'll load 10 more then give em a test fire. 5 rds.

    Got 10 loaded. Having an issue now with oal. All under but off a bit. Lee should have called this the Fiddlemaster instead of the Loadmaster.

    Very nice. 5 shots. Coffee cup size group from crap rest @30 yards. Need to goto 50 yard range and see. These don't seem to have the zip the doubletap 200grs do. Two bases I found. Shooting steel plate busted up good.

    ** no signs of overpressure.

    What do you mean by adjusting the primer out? If it's concerning the seating depth of the primer, leave it as is. The firing pin will strike the primer, and if not seated, will push the primer in the rest of the way, usually resulting in a light primer strike.

    Fully unseated primers are a cause of FTF's as the inertia of the FP is exhausted seating the primer.

    Trying to seat it level with the case. Like the other factory rds. It was above the base of the shell. Sticking up/out. Got it level now. Flush with case.
