Well I found a bunch of blue bullets in 10mm I loaded some time ago in the 200g range. I shot some of those and will try to load the 150g 210 Lehigh bullets. I only emptied like 16 but the Lehigh is not a full box but close. I think I shot these before with no problems.  It's hard to justify target shooting these with it being strictly a defensive round.  Craig

I don't know what I was thinking but the Lehigh bullets I have from before are for 41AE not 40 cal so I of course can't use them for 10MM. Boy the stress of reloading must be getting to me.!! Ha Ha.  Craig

I really like my 10mm XDMs.  Which model do you have Craig?  5.25" or 4.5"?

Shot the 10mm Springfield today with some of the 155g FMJ at 7.5 Power Pistol and boy what a nice surprise!!! Smooth as glass and a nice recoil and twist to the left. It's the niceset10mm round I have done so far.   Craig

"The Turkey's Opinion" on YouTube has several nice videos on 10mm ammo tests - accuracy/chrono/gel - and one of the pistols is the 3.8" XDM-Elite. Lots of insight and good info.

I don't know but I think it's the longer one. Craig

Met my brother at the range today as they were having an open house with free food. He is very anti gun and is kind of afraid of guns in general. So I of course had to shoot the 10MM to show him what a real gun sounds like and he was impressed!!  A fun time had by all and free food to boot!!!!  Craig

The range had a members only shoot and party of sorts all day Saturday. This is the secound one they have had this summer so far. There are a bunch of givaways and food all day and evening. It was fun but boreing so I took a couple o fhours off in the afternoon. When I got back I shot the Springfield 10mm and two other 9mms it was a fun day all in all. The manager of the range said he will try to hold one of these once a month through the summer and more in the winter. Craig

That?s a great idea, most ranges don?t want to lose all the non-member revenue
