I am surprised that Vectan shows the 40S&W using A0 powder with the 180 grain JHP, using A0 4.2gr @ 840 fps and 5.2gr @ 935 fps

However, they didn't show any 10mm loadings using AO but they did show one with A1...

Modified for clarity (see post wit printed data on May 2 2016)

Shadow, was "A0" in the first line supposed to read "40", as in 40 S&W?

It should have read that Vectan was showing 40S&W with AO powder...see the load data below.

Migrated everything over to http://10mm-reloaded.com/

All the pages were created the old fashioned way, with spreadsheets and basic html, so I had to edit every link. It was fun

There's bound to be errors, if any are found please let me know by PM on this forum.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for doing all this work. Wow. Easy to search each page, by powder, "Longshot" or "#9" for example.

Very nice work, I did see a few items like missing bullet weights or in one instance a 145 gr bullet was listed as 45.  I understand how tedious the work is and the attention to details required.  The first line of the D037 is missing the .02.

All in all great work.  Indications of what powders yield what velocities is a very cool reference! 

My keyboard actually needs to be replaced because the boots under the keys are getting stiff, and I find myself hitting keys that don't register...

Here's some results of load testing with a 165 gr HP Berrys over AA#5 and 8 gr of AA#7 over a 180 gr cast bullet. Both were bench rested at 25 yards.

Thanks guys!

Certainly there's some housekeeping left, I'll get to it

Saturday looks very good for chrono time, and I'll do my best to put a dent in the 154 loads that are ready to go.

Initial hopes for STEEL have diminished a bit, without even firing a shot! We'll see what the chrono says.

Next I'll wander a bit further off the beaten path with 20/28 and e3 loads. No, I won't be pushing these powders

Testing this weekend will be done with the usuall 5.15" LW, and a new 5.2" w/ 30deg comp. Doubt there'll be much of a difference in velocity (setup was purchased with hopes of slowing the slide down a bit).

PTII is in hand, but getting the test 'platform' off the ground is taking longer than anticipated, It'll get there

Awesome day!

1: A coated Beartooth 200gr WN will clock 50fps (1,277 fps, 13.2 #9) faster than as shipped with conventional lube.
2: STEEL has potential, and heavy recoil. All but the top load spit unburned powder at the chrono screwing up the readings, 11.5 behind 200gr Bayou RN ran pretty clean and produced 1,200 fps (.4282). Up to 13.5gr next outting.
3: The LW compensator performed very well taming recoil and slowing the slide (my perception).
4: 572 works fine in the 10 - 7.0gr 155 1,100fps .4270 - room to grow.
5: Competition Electronics emailed a patched Digital Link app, correcting the batch export shot ordering. It works
6: Not that I was after it, but hit 817 ft lbs.
7: Bumped the 200gr XTP OAL to 1.280 to give #9 a little more room. Ran fine from the mag. 

Tested about 90 loads, lots to go through!

Wow, you have been busy. And it is appreciated.

Saturday's results: http://10mm-reloaded.com/load_data/10mmLoadResults05-28-16.html

Man you had a ton of data to document there...Thanks for your reports.  Not sure how much you could push the A0 or the GM3 powders.  A1 looked interesting too... 
Working blindly takes a lot attention to case expansion and inspection.  The Steel loads appear to be good to go for some loads.

The 800X and LongShot still hold for good velocity, Power Pistol and BE-86 also.

Thanks Shadow.

Actually, it's gotten pretty streamlined - the Digital Link Bluetooth app now exports (csv) in batch mode correctly, thanks to CE for responding to my emails and sending a patched version (I had the latest from the app store).

Chrono, data captured on Droid device
Batch export csv via email
Open in Calc, make presentable (tedious part), export to html, cut n' paste already written style code
Upload

Now I do have to enter each number into the master file, but that goes pretty quick (ME & PF are auto populated).

Now measuring brass is TEDIOUS, and a ton of fun! Not! 

I really enjoy the load development, and of course shooting, but I'm considering looking into full automation on the reporting side (hit 'export', dump it into a back end, and have the pages generated on the fly).  Sound like more work

A0 & GM3: I suspect they'll just quietly top out with mediocre numbers, but GM3 has been consistent and accurate so far.

LW 5.2" is 40 thousandths tighter than the 5.15" barrel, a few like (or very similar) loads produced gains in excess of 100fps, and smiles at .4283.

Broke a rule I know all too well, change ANYTHING = rework the load.

Pretty decent update (about 100 loads).

Reminder: Some loads are HOT - Some loads are below / above book values, some have no published data. What proves safe in my gun(s) may not in yours.

Master file updated sans case measurements, I'll try to get to that this week.
