You should start reloading :)

Seriously, if you have a friend that reloads see if you can watch him and start learning the equipment. You can only get the full potential of the 10mm once you start reloading.

I wish I could, really but honestly I'm a single dad with little time and little work space/ storage right now.  That's why I initially thought double tap, I read he started out making higher pressure ammo since he was a 10mm enthusiast but damn those prices.   

I found the underwood site helpful and they have a good selection of target and FMJ HP. 
Hopefully the target ammo isn't too dirty. 
I'll also start out with some Sig Elite performance. 

Please help me better understand the true benefit of reloads specific to the 10mm.  My limited knowledge is you can choose a faster burning powder, and set a higher pressure. 
My main goal is to take down a bear or mountain lion in the back woods this spring.  But for self defense in the city, I train for 25-30 yards and want something that will drop a 250# man quickly without killing everyone behind him. 
Thanks

Factory 10mm ammo / Ammo...180 or 200

Hi guys, newbie here. 
I just ordered a 10mm conversion kit for my steel EAA witness .45 and need ammo.
I see a lot of 165, and 180 grain but very little 200....atleast on the sites I know.   I'm hesitant to pay the double tap prices from their website because I know nothing about them. 
I've always stuck with Winchester PDX1's for my other models. 

So, while I assume I should go with 200 g for the 10mm I wanted some advice.  I shoot 180 g from my .40 carry so bigger bullet I want a bigger punch right.

Also, I normally shop at grab a gun for the 12.99 flat shipping on ammo, but am very open to recommendations on target ammo and where you find it.  Winchester white box doesn't come in 10mm sadly....
Thanks
