Hello
Just got a copy of the new Sierra manual and of course looked over the 10mm data.
They have included a lot more powders than the #5 manual, and have increased the loads for several others.
Interesting, the narrative states that AA#7 and Blue Dot are outstanding performers, but there are no loads for Blue Dot in the manual.. ?? Oops..
If they included 3N37, why not 3N38?  I wonder what they didn't like about 800-X or AA#9?..   They actually listed loads for AA#9 in 38 Special loads...

Here is the list for 180gr;

Clays                            5.3
Titegroup                     5.8
American Select           5.6
N320                          5.8
BE-86                         8.1
Zip                             7.0
Unique                        7.2
Universal                     7.2
Power Pistol                 8.2
N340                           7.1
True Blue                     8.5
AA#5                           9.3
Auto Comp                   7.7
CFE Pistol                     7.6
Silhouette                     8.2
3N37                            8.7
N350                            7.8
572                              8.1
AA#7                           10.9
Longshot                       8.3

Accuracy Load                       9.3  AA#5
Hunting Load                         8.1 BE-86 

I agree with the accuracy load.. AA#5 has always produced tight groups.  But the hunting load, not so much..
WHY DO THEY CALL IT COMMON SENSE WHEN IT IS SO UNCOMMON?

Does it have any load data for 200gr bullets?

No, because Sierra doesn't make a 200gr bullet in 10mm.  180gr is as heavy as they go.
