Springfield XDM 10mm -- Range time!

[Ramjet]

I spend many an hour in the woods or back roads around here. Last thing I want is to be undergunned in case I run cross a mobile meth lab or pissed off Black Bear.... really I carry a wide variety of handguns and am very good with all of them. 10,000 + rounds per year 

I carry most of the time EDC 642 S&W or an XDS in 45 Acp but have been known to be packing a Chiappa Rhino in 357 Mag stoked with 158 grain XTP. But on days I can carry a full size I prefer the 10mm XDM.

I have a Hornady Progressive press setup for 10mm it is dedicated to only the 10...

Absolutely, would much rather be over prepared than under

Makes sense.  If you carry the XDM 10 with the right loads, you're good for either brown bears or crooks.  Around here the only bears are in a zoo so it's the 9 for the street.

But still, I'm tempted to pack it now and then.  The idea of 15+ 1of the magnum 40 is pretty cool.

When the weather lets up, I'll burn another 50 or 100 hardcast and see how it goes.

So does it launch brass 50 ft like other 10mm's??

  na, only about 10 - 12'.

That's awesome, my RIA Ultra sends brass a good 25-35', and is often lost in the weeds
