Casting is a natural progression for an advanced reloader.  I have been casting for about  25 years, feel low on moulds as some of my buds have hundreds, I still am slightly under 100.  It gives the ultimate in flexibility, I can use the same bullet in 32ACP, 32 H&R, 30/30 gallery loads and so on, just by changing the diameter. 

I feed my 10's with 160 to 210 grain bullets with and without hollow points.  I have taken 2 deer with 610's and 200 grain loads between 75 and 100 yards.  The 610 is what got me started down the 10mm rat hole! 

I have been a 10mm fan since they were not all the rage...  I started with my first 10mm in the early 90's, a 610 no dash.  Since then I have grown to own all of the S&W 610's pre-lock, a couple of steel frame Witnesses and a couple of MegaStars and a Contender barrel.  As much as I like 1911's, I never felt the desire for one in 10mm.  The frames and guns seemed a little weak and always concerned me. 

My favorites???  Lew Horton snub nose 10mm and the MegaStar.  I do not shoot the MegaStars often due to lack of parts, but do drag them out from time to time.  One in Starvel and one in blue!

Of course I reload 10mm as well as about 25 other cartridges and I cast all of my own bullets. 

Just wanted to say hi and that I will be spending some time hear reading about others experiences with 10mm guns and ammo.
