General Discussion / Re: Hickock45 10mm Video
December 12 2021 04:18:06 PM MST
I enjoy his videos but wish he talked way less and shot more. Waiting for the 10mm video to
load right now.

Win 231 is a fast burning powder. It is best used for target loads.
For full power loads, a slower burning powder like Longshot, AA9,
Blue Dot, and several others, will get you more velocity safer. There
is a thread here with a massive amount of 10mm load data listed.

With our homemade cast and coated. We have gone over 1700 from 16 inch 10mm without issue. With our g20 we regularly get 1250 with 180's.

Nice pics!  What bullet mold are these from, and what brand PC is the fuchsia color?

Factory 10mm ammo / Re: Federal Syntech 10mm range ammo
January 13 2021 07:34:25 AM MST
Pretty bullets, but at $36.99 for a box of 560, I will not be buying any.

OK, thanks. Years ago, I fired some full power, but not overloaded, 10mm through my first Glock 20. It was a Gen 2. Had a serious lack of chamber support and some of the cases were bulged so much I would not want to reload those. That is what prompted me to have Jarvis make me barrel for it. It is the Glock 20 barrel in one of previously posted pics. Much better, but still not great case support, but no more bulged brass. Although as I stated, I have never heard of these pass through dies, I have filed down a shell holder to allow the case to be resized down a bit further. Apparently these extreme measures will not be needed with my new Fusion 10mm.

Earl,

   I have been handloading for nearly 50 years and do not recall hearing of a "pass through" die.
Can you explain?

10mm Hunting / Re: Why no hot hard cast for self defense
December 10 2020 04:58:33 AM MST
Underwood produces lead hollow points in 38 Special, but none in 10mm. That does not mean lead HP loads would not work well in 10mm, just that there must not be much market for them. GT Bullets has a selection of cast HP in 40/10mm that can be handloaded. Some people will not carry handloads for self defense, but I have in years past and would not hesitate to do it again. The lack of availability and outrageous cost of factory ammo may be the catalyst that drives me to carry non-factory loads. As far as the "legal implications", I have yet to hear of someone who was convicted of a crime for using handloads for self defense. It is either a legitimate shoot, or it is not.

10mm semi-auto handguns / S&W Model 1046 Sold on Gunbroker
November 26 2020 10:17:29 AM MST
It went for $3052.00 plus shipping. I was a little shocked.

Thanks DenStinett for the pics. They lost a good bit of resolution in the transfer from the other forum, but I can still see the case support on the Fusion barrel looks pretty good. 

Thanks sqibullet for the information. I have two 38 Super 1911s with ramped barrels and thought I wanted my 10mm to be ramped also, but it looks like my concern was unwarranted.

phydaux,

   I did not order the Fusion, I bought it NIB on Gunbroker. Before buying, I asked the seller if
it was a ramped or non-ramped barrel. He replied "ramped". So I bought it believing it had a ramped
barrel. However when it arrived, I saw that it is NOT a ramped barrel and was very disappointed,
However, with case support this good, I think it is good to go. Also, my local gunsmith likes the
Clark/Para style better.

General Discussion / Re: Just so you know...10mm brass

I have a flat bottom firing pin stop on the way, and 3 extra power mainsprings (aka hammer springs)to try, 25, 28, and 30 pounds. I'm hoping that this will slow down the slide enough to reduce the distance the gun throws the brass. Don't want to increase the recoil spring if I do not have to.

I know they are rare, but holy cow!

Bid is up to just under $6700.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Delta Elite chamber case support?
November 14 2020 08:35:41 PM MST
Would any of you Delta Elite owners be wiling to take a pic of your barrel chamber with a case in the chamber so I can compare your case support with my new Fusion 10mm?  Thanks.

Here is mine:

Well it will not let me post my pic because the file is too large. Any tips on how to make my pic
smaller so it will post here ? My pic is only 1.6 Mb.

Here is a link to my pics on another forum: https://www.1911addicts.com/threads/ramped-vs-non-ramped-barrel-in-10mm-1911s.116631/

Scroll down to post #17 to see my pics.
