Reloading 10mm ammo / 180gr Federal HST and 231
March 27 2023 05:43:20 PM MDT
I picked up 1000 HST jacketed hollows points for a really good deal and want to work up a load for my 10mm 1911's, both have 5" barrels. I have been using 6.4 gr of 231 under a 180 gr RN with pretty good results with accuracy. My objective here is more for accuracy over max velocity.

I do have other powders to work with... CFE Pistol, Longshot, Unique, Tight Group. Question here is were do I start, which powder is the best to use? I do not have objectives to pushing the envelope a little, just want to stay away from super max loads. I don't want to beat my pistols up pushing the limits. Just want some tight groups and a true 10mm load. And I do understand that what works in my pistol may not work in another, looking for a good starting point without wasting reloading components.

This what you need?

Or you could just get a new mag until you find the parts. I bought mags from them and added the Springer extended base plate.

These folks are great to deal with, and the prices are not to bad.

My RIA 10mm does it,but as it is getting broke in it is less prevalent, I think once it settles in it may even stop doing it because it is almost not doing it now. I only have 200 rounds through it now. The loads I'm shooting are pretty spicey at 1200 FPS, and the brass is even pileing up in a nice pile about 8' behind me over to the right side a little. At first it would fling it at any random area about 30' away.

If it's not broke don't fix it.

unless you are having feeding problems their is no gain.
