I've lived here in MT for 42 years now.  Work in the mountains from about April to October.  Generally run into half a dozen griz, few black bears and a real angry moose each year (I think that moose has it in for me ;) ).

I've always carried a 44 or 45 colt loaded with heavy 300's.  Thought I was pretty comfortable until I tried out a Glock 20.

I'm a bit more comfortable now.  ;)

I have hunted near Dell and seen the remains of an elk that met some predators. I would be happier with the Glock on my side back then. I was carrying a 41 magnum at the time.

In the standard 4.6", or in a 6"?

Otherwise it appears you're well on your way to lots of fun.  IMO you've done well.

4.6 to fit my holster and be more handy.

I decided on a 20 Lb spring and a lone wolf barrel.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Progressive Presses

I have used a Hornady Progressive Press for well over 25 years.  I now have 2 as I like to have one set up for rifle and one for 45Colt. 
  I keep hearing that the dillon is a far superior press and have purchased a few over time when I have found them at a bargain price. The SDB is only a 4 station press and you cannot use any other dies than dillon.

Not true I use Lee crimp dies on my Dillon. I would say at least 2/3rds of my dies are not Dillon.

OK I have some 200 grain projectiles and 1000 cases on the way.

I will look at all the powder I have that suits the 10 MM and load a batch to see what works best in my gun.

Should I look into an aftermarket Barrel?

What should I look for as far as case stress with a 10 MM Glock as opposed to any other Glock?

I realize they are hard on brass. I will keep the brass separate in case my plans to get another brand of 10MM pistol. I understand they expand a bit more.

I have 2 550's and a 650. After 20 years I only use Dillon their warranties are truly no BS.

I own 2 of these other than my 300 win mag these get out the most. Fun as heck to reload for too!

I reload, I looked over many recipes for 10MM and like the feedback on Bluedot. I have a boatload of powder,  1000 180 grain projectiles, also 500 165 grain. These are from a collection I bought a few years ago. Looks like I need some 200 gr. to make things right.

Does anyone remember when Marlin made these? They were awesome! This is what I need in 10mm!

Who else would buy one in 10mm?

I have a Camp 9 and a Camp 45 Accurate and light, great idea, should have lasted longer. I would buy one in 10MM

Well I finally did it. I decided that where I hunt in the winter a steel gun would be a disadvantage. I go to Wyoming and Montana for Elk. They have been telling stories of wolves and bears getting more aggressive and used to people. Neither any good. I dont expect to use the gun for those, but I will have it in case. Just like Car Insurance. Better to have full coverage. Now to get a good supply of brass and projectiles............. Suggestions appreciated!
