Awhile back, I purchased 1000 135gr Nosler jhp bullets for $110. I like this weight for SD/HD use in 10mm, and heavier stuff for carry in the woods.
I used Western Powders reloading guide for this load, using Ramshot Silhouette powder.
I started at 10gr (min is 9.9gr), and worked up to max of 11gr in .2gr increments. I did not have a chronograph at the time, but saw no signs of pressure at all.
I loaded these to the following- 11gr Ramshot Silhouette, 1.260" COL, primer- WLP, new Jagemann 10mm brass.
Chronograph data- 81*F
Sig P220 Elite stainless 10mm 5" barrel
135gr Nosler jhp
1-1463 fps 2-1483 fps 3-1489 fps 4-1483 fps 5-1484 fps. Five shot average velocity was 1480 fps. High-1489 fps, Low-1463 fps. ES-26, SD-10
Glock 20 SF w/ LW 6" barrel
135gr Nosler jhp
1-1543 fps 2-1523 fps 3-1539 fps 4-1530 fps 5-1537 fps. Five shot average velocity was 1534 fps. High-1543 fps, Low-1523 fps. ES-20, SD-7
Thanks for sharing your numbers, the 135's are nice bullet weights, my experience with Nosler bullets have shown some to be slightly undersized in the various calibers. Have measured the some of 10mm/40 cal as small as 0.3990" many at 0.3995" when they should be 0.4000".
Ramshot Silhouette powder used to be Winchester Action Pistol (WAP) powder, it meters well too and has a good yield.
It seems that the powder coatings have varied at times with the Silhouette powder...
BTW, I had some great numbers with CFE Pistol using the 135's...
CFE Pistol Powder test
135 grain HST over 10.2 grains CFE Pistol seated to 1.2500"
CCI 350 primer Star*-*Line Brass (used but pass-through reconditioned)
Velocity 1672 fps from the Glock 20 factory barrel, Wolff non captive recoil rod & 22lb spring.
Max case expansion is 0.4325"
I've run some 135 grain Nosler's through my Glock 20SF with 6" KKM barrel.
5 shots average 1695 fps. with good accuracy.
Silhouette is my go to powder for the 10 mm, it my not be the fastest but it sure is accurate.
Thank for the your crono results!

Man, those are smoking! I loaded some Nosler 135's about 20 yrs ago now probably, I think I used Bluedot. I may still have some, need to go digging around.
