I couldn't find any Blue Dot or AA9 locally, but my LGS did have some Longshot. I picked up 2lbs.

I am starting to deprime my 10mm range brass for tumbling then I will be loading the brass on my 750 with the Longshot and 180 gr FMJ bullets.  I will be using Mighty Armory dies.

I will be shooting these loads from an 8" barrel.

Any recommendations? This will be my first 10mm loads.

I posted up some of my loads I've tested in the "pet loads" topic.  One had a longshot recipe.  Though, with the shorter barrel, you will see lower velocities than I was getting due to my barrel being the full 16 inches in length.

I'm still curious what velocities you'll be getting with the banshee though.  Mine is direct blowback.  Been working really well.  Although a bit gassy with a suppressor and max loads.

Edit to add: I recommend crimping.

This post checked by independent fact checkers, and they're all pissed off about it.

Longshot over 180 grainers is a pretty good combo.

8-8.2 grains have been the sweet spot for me with 180 grainers.
