Zero ammo is close to me and i know the owners sister. I just inquired with them on 10mm and got this response.
QuoteI'm sorry - Zero hasn't made any 10mm ammo in several years and I really don't look for it to happen any time in the near future. We just don't have enough requests to justify changing the machine over to run it. For a while, there were several police departments that used 10mm guns and we did have a little supply of it. However, the 10mm users slowly dwindled down and we sold out of what we had (over several years time - it took quite a while to sell it).

Another problem we have is getting enough powder to run the ammunition we need. Powder is very scarce, as you probably know, and we haven't received a good supply in over 6 months. If powder were more plentiful, they might run some of those load like 10mm and 357 Mag for stock.
This is what the website is showing http://www.rozedist.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RZD&Category_Code=ZBA-10MM
Wonder if we could out a deal on a pre-order?
Now that the Priv is pretty much gone Underwood is about all we have that is sane in price.
GREAT defense ammo but way to hot for punching paper IMO so--.

I am with a group here called Bama Carry about 7200 or so on our facebook in less than  2 years. I am talking to Zero about some sponsorship and may be able to persuade them to do a run of 10mm. They just had no real market here for the 10mm but if they did have a market on line maybe---. We need some affordable 10 from some where that is available in particular in my case for range use.
Love Underwood for defensive carry but I don't need 1400+ with 165 FMJ to punch paper at 15-20 yards!!

That interesting Facebook group.  I really like the quality of the Zero bullets, I used the real jacketed 121gr JHP (0.356" 38Super) in my 9x25 Dillon and 357Sig projects.  I understand the idea getting a group buy thing going on, especially for target stuff, those plated bullets can be a cheaper target bullets for paper punching but cast bullets can even be cheaper for the play time.

I am a handloader and roll my own for the very reasons of short supply and high demand, I've invested in casing equipment to keep myself supplied for all of my various calibers and try to maintain some sort of supplies.  Lately I'm starting to test some of the new powders (like CFE pistol) just to see how they will work.  I like loading as much as shooting... :D

If it is available and the price is decent then I'd certainly be down to try some affordable 10mm.

Count me in, sometimes i buy from lax ammo. I do load myself but time is not always free.  I'm in Arizona.

I was ready to buy yesterday. What is taking Zero so long? Oh, I'd really like it if it wasn't a powder puff load. If it was hotter than a standard 40 cal I would really like it! To many companies making weak 10mm that is not even loaded to hot 40 cal levels.
