Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: .40 Barnes M LE 155gr
July 05 2013 12:46:48 PM MDT
I cannot buy from Natchez. I live in TN and they do not sell here because of sales tax. I also do not have the load data a a gentleman on here does my loading for thr 38-40 on the 155 Barnes X. Barnes does nor even supply info for the 155 for the 10mm on their website.So my search continues. If someody wanted to trade loaded live 10mm for Barnes .400 155gr Xbullets I am open to that but shipping gets expensive on loaded ammo till you get to about 5 boxes. Does not mattr 5X50 or 5X20 its all the same I guess to UPS. Either way its a bad ripoff and they got us cause no store has anything in stock locally.

And DM1906 now that its out THANK YOU for your help. I could not have found a better guy for this job than you and I appreciate everything you have done and all the questions you have answered. You can be sure of one thing. This gun is at the top of the line for ready. I may just start carrying it for my job. Bet that would go over big. LOL And thats not public !!!

Since the question remains is it really true I prefer just to let them seek out someone the way I did. Not being smart or knowing it all but asking if this was possible. And you said probably. and the results were outstanding. Even I never even thought about the 3840 when I bought the gun as I bought it for the 10mm cylinder and now that is just my practice cylinder as the 3840 is the rifle cylinder in a handgun. and I told you I had all the faith in the world in the Barnes 155 having used Barnes from 125 all the way to 325gr in the X. I knew if you got the load that the end result would be devasting. Just think if you had a case of those about 125 years ago. They would have made you a sniper with a SA revolver.I am still looking for some 155gr bullets in Barnes. If I find them I will ship them. I will put in fired brass with bullets if I ever find any.

DM:I never gave you away as I was not sure you wanted it out or in.I just refered to you as a gentleman on this website and that you are. Now that they know I will be the 2nd one called a liar instead of the first. LOL !!!

My ammo was worked up for me by a gentleman on this site. I do not reload. I just told him what I wanted to use. We went from 1750 to 2050 and backed down deciding on 1950 for safety.I would feel OK trying to take elk up close to 75 yards with this bullet but have never tried.Remember bears,hogs,lions are usually stationary and at bay when taken. Coyotes are the hardest as they never stop.Whitetail deer are easy where i live no matter what you use.We have so many they are considered accidents waiting to get your car or truck. We have a 3 per day doe limit.I never dreamed that you could get that much out of the 3840 but it is a rifle cartridge and even though made for blackpowder times have changed and with the modern equipment and components things change. Now if you buy factory ammo it is loaded at 850-900fps because of all the older guns designed foe blackpowder 100 plus years age. This Ruger being built like a tank allows an experienced reloaded to really experiment. My reloaded also already had this gun and had worked up loads for this bullet prior to my having even bought the gun. I actuallly bought it because it has an extra 10mm cylinder. You can use anything Underwood makes and not even have any reason to be worried as I am sure it could be taken up but the bullet is so big the cartridge space is not enought to gain much from Underwoods full power loads.I love this Revolver.

General Discussion / MP5 10
July 02 2013 04:09:04 AM MDT
A friend of mine is in Indonisa and when he got on the elevator this morning there were a group of military guys with MP5 10. He ask about their guns and was told it was the personal choice of the president. They were the presidents bodyguards. President of Indonisa. He said they were not friendly and when they got down to the bottom they told him to step aside and stay there until told.The president then came down and got in an armoured car to go give a speech at a military base.He ask if he could take a picture and they told him do not point anything at anybody period.I guess they were serious. He said most of them all had HK guns.

That is what someonewho knows what they are doing while reloading can do. I had no idea either that it would get that but it does and at 100 its like shooting a rifle with the light 155 gr bullet. Lots of room for powder in that big case and someonewho knows what they are doing will not blow themselves up.

Guys you are late to this party. They have not had any at Barnes in forever and Natchez you can not buy from here in TN or GA. Its not as easy as it seems.

I need someone who has or someone who knows where I might find the above bullets. I have a strange 38-40 load that uses this bullet and I cannot seem to find them in stock anywhere. I guess everybody is hoarding .40. Brass I can find but all copper bullets I need help. All info appreciated and if you need anything you ask on here if I know you will know.

Well the sight in,ammo test and ammo decision are finished. 155gr Barnes X. 1935FPS. It is about 1 inch high at 50 yards and in a 2 inch circle at 100 yards open sights of bags. So I figure the gun is better than me and that is good enough and the custom load started at 1735 up 2050 and settled on 1935 for safety and accuracy. This gun is a bell ringer at 100yds and I would say not bad a 200yds which I will try next trip to the farm.Very pleased I bought this gun just wish I had discovered it about 10 years ago.But now it will last me into my last hunting years and it is plenty for deer,hogs,mountain lion and all the coyotes you want. Never though this gun would have that in it but I had not done my research. Only looked at the blackpowder numbers not the smokeless numbers plus modern components. It is a rifle bullet in a SA.

All you guys welcome to the forum.You have come to the right place for the 10mm and more. and I personally want to thank a member who wants to remain hidden because he does not think he deserves it but sir you took a new boy, fixed him up,never complained about his questions and got him some of the finest ammo that could be custom made. My thanks go outto you as not many people would have done that for a stranger. Thanks again.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Hottest 10mm load
June 30 2013 01:02:10 AM MDT
I got a real world load from a friend that is 155gr Barnes at 1535fps which makes in nuclear. I will not shoot it in a Glock but in my Ruger no problems. amazing how much more the Ruger can handle than the Auto's. The cases,primers and components fail before the gun. Not so in the others.Im sure you can blow a Ruger as any gun will blow with stupidity but they will take a beating. An old gunner like me can learn if he listens and reads and listens with his mouth shut till he can ask a good question.
