At the private range I go o we have brass catchers between the shooting lanes. Works great for .45, 9mm, .380 etc., but the 10s just go up and over. Or bounce off the overhead.

For two years I had been following the VLTOR Fortis project to reproduce a new Bren Ten. They finally got the rights to name it the Bren Ten. They even named a distributor and retailer. The all of a sudden nothing. I did a search and found a letter on their website indicating that they suspended the project because of immediate economic downturn and the need to focus on their current production items. But, there was room left for the possibility of starting up production in 2016.

I sent an e-mail inquiry to VLTOR regarding this new Bren Ten pistol and they responded in the same day. The response only indicated that they don't have any updates and that their management team was still working on the project. I have been wanting to get a Bren Ten 10mm pistol since I saw the Dornaus & Dixon ad in Shotgun News back in the 1980's. My interest was piqued again when I read about the Peregrine Falcon and the Sphinx 3000 10mm which looked like a gun I could live with instead of the Bren Ten, but, that was short lived and I missed out on the Sphinx. In the early 1990's I was able to actually handle and pulled the trigger on a Bren Ten at a gun show in Miami. The trigger was a really smooth, light double action trigger. And, the grip and ergonomics felt like holding a Browning High Power, except a little bigger. Unfortunately the price was too much.

Then I read about the VLTOR Fortis project to resurrect the Bren Ten under the Fortis name with improved CNC machining. I thought I was finally going to get a new production gun with a bunch of magazines. Now I don't know. This is one gun that I really want. But, who knows. >:(   
I am into the 10mm and picked up an EEA (Tanfoglio) Witness and love it. Inexpensive and accurate.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Chronograph recommendation

I am in the same boat as you. Been loading for a year and want to match my loads to my pistol. I bought a Caldwell. It works great and has a chord to plug into my Android phone. It records all my shot groups for printing, export to XLS and immediate daily. Very happy with it.

New to loading and I have the same issue with my Witness and the CCI primers. Whether shooting 155 XTP or 180 gr hollow points. Light load or heavier load. Thanks for the pic that helped this newbie.
