Should be fine for that line size.  I've used them with 40lb mono and they still slide just fine. I use a pair of pliers to pull the pins as they cool.

Thick aramid gloves for smelting and nomex pilots gloves for casting days.

That environment is all they've ever known......they think its that way everywhere.  Most of them can't wrap their brains around the fact that most of the country doesn't live like they do in the leftist run cities. 

I feel for anyone that lives in that type of place but the bottiom line is that most of the citizens vote for it.  In fact many of them vote for it over and over for decades.  Best option is to bring the electoral college type set up to each state's local election.  Each county gets a vote but only one vote per county.  That's the only way to break free of the metro areas out voting everyone else.

Who know, maybe they've changed the bullet metal composition.  The 8th Edition Hornady manual shows 850-1300fps for the 155gr P/N 40000. For P/N 40040, the 180gr it shows 750-1450fps.  I would use the heavier bullet and hope that it holds up after it shed some of the initial velocity.  I'm currently running a home cast 185gr HP but so far nothing bigger than a possum has given me an opportunity.  Best of luck and let us know how it works out so we can add to our knowledge of XTP performance.

A quick search shows the 155 XTP to be rated up to 1300fps.  May not hold together at those velocities.

They purchased Accurate and Ramshot, not Alliant. And yes, we should all be nervous when we only have a couple of sources for our powder.

Not many here in central Arkansas....and if you find any, they want a kidney

Thanks for the info!

All, As everyone knows, primers are harder to find than unicorns. I have several pounds of HS-7 and only a few magnum primers. It seems all the reloading data only has WLP or magnum type primers.  Do any of you have experience using standard primers with HS-7 in the 10MM?  I've done preliminary work up using a home cast 185 grain HP, R-P 2 1/2 primers, with 9.5 grains and haven't seen any issues.  This load runs about 1145 fps and see no indications of pressure. Appreciate your inputs!

Resight for 1.5" high at 100yds.  Also make sure and stick with whatever bullet seems the most consistent.  Different bullets of even the same weight can have significant changes in POI. I have a CVA Optima V2 as well and get great accuracy with the Scorpion PT Gold 300 grain bullets.  Going to try 260 grain ones next.

Can't go wrong with a mid size .38 if she can pull the trigger.....

All, thanks again for the assist!

Thanks for the info......that helps me get me started. Mainly wanting these loads for practice but will stick with longshot for my hunting loads.

Looking to see if anyone has any pet loads using HS-7 with 185 and 190grain cast bullets in the 10mm.  After digging through several manuals and only finding jacketed bullet loads I'm looking for a starting point.  I've also checked with Hodgdon and they provided the little bit of info that they had.  A search for the Winchester equivalent didn't turn up much data either. I have acquired 16lbs of this powder and wanting to start burning it up.  Appreciate any help you can provide.
