Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Blue Dot and Chronograph
March 09 2022 12:21:45 AM MST
Anyone tried 180gr load work ups with Blue Dot? See, my dilemma is that I don't buy Hornady's so-called max load is really max load. They are saying 10.7gr is max, and gets you 1,250 fps. Yet I've seen factory load 180gr ammo hitting 1,350 fps. Plus, I had this experience with Hornady's so-called max load being way low in working up loads on my 357 magnum.

Problem is that I'm working up this load in my Glock 20. So how do you find out when you are getting high pressure sign in a semi-auto??? In my 357 magnum revolver it's easy because once the shells get a little hard to manually eject, you know you have to back off just a little bit, and that it a good and safe max load. And it was way higher than what Hornady load data claimed as the max.

So does anyone have any advice, or experience loading Blue Dot to the max with 180gr bullets in their 10mm pistols?
