I am hand weighing the charges. I always hand weigh when experimenting.

Welcome to the forum! May I ask you 10MilMike, are you hand weighing your powder charges or just dropping from a powder drop?
I hand weigh each and everyone of mine, yes it makes a difference!

I have recently started pushing many with BE-86 because of the lower flash signature!  BTW HS6 also has a low flash signature as well.

Thanks guys. Good to know. I didn't know that these bullets had a hard jacket.

I tried my good loads again. This time from 15 yards rested. Looks like 10.2 may be the magic load. It printed a 1.25" five round group. 11.0 grains made a 3.5" group (3 touching)
I was hoping Blue Dot would give better velocity but the accuracy looks good.

I love my Dillon 550. It saves me a lot of time. I can load 100 rounds in 15 or 20 minutes. I can also change my process to single stage loading when I want to experiment.

Hello 10mm fans. I just purchased my first 10mm. A glock 20 gen 3. I'm using 180 grain Montana Gold fmj with blue dot and hs6. I've read many posts here where guys really like 10.2 to 10.4 grains of blue dot for its accuracy. I've tried 9.6 up to 11 grains in .2 grain increments. 10.0 and 10.2 and 11.0 worked best from my 4.6" KKM barrel. But, the velocity is low. Is this normal with this combo of components? 10 grains gave 1042fps. 10.2 gave 1073fps. 11.0 gave 1192 fps. The data I have shows 1295fps with 11 grains BD and a 180g Gold Dot. I think Gold dots are plated though and that would change the results.
I tested 5 shot groups from about 12 yards free hand. 10.0 grains gave 1.7" groups. 10.2 grains gave a 1.4" groups with 4 shots. (One flyer) could be my fault. Total grouo size is 3". 11.0 grains gave a 2.5" group.
The hs6 worked best at 8.8 grains. 5 shots printed 1.75" at 1085 fps.
