We have loads shown in the 10mm Pull-Downs if you wish to study more.

I've got some 135gr Sierra JHPs, will work up a few Longshot loads (QL thinks with a 5.15" I can get 1,500 out of them).

Deliberately stayed away from the solids, buck a piece = ouch.

[The_Shadow]

Buffalo Bore got 1500 or very close to it with the 155gr Barnes TAC XP using a heavily compressed loading 11.0 grains of Power Pistol. 

Although QL was shown to show the pressure as 147,749 PSI on that loading.  Were as the 155 GD was shown as 37,616 PSI for the same loading @ 1463 fps  Which is what the 155gr Barnes TAC XP is actually doing.

I duplicated those using the C.O.P. 155 gr that IC sent...he showed the

COP 155gr All Copper HP 11.0gr's Power Pistol (Buffalo Bore load) 1422, 1435, 1456, 1413. Average = 1431.5 FPS/ 706 LBS. Really happy with this level of performance and would love to see them in gel!

Any results with BE-86?
I'm looking to push an Xtreme copper plated 200gr bullet with it.
I'm hoping that the BE-86 can perform well.

[Benchrst]

BE-86 is loaded up, but not with 200s. Where it's landing on the burn rate charts I'd guess that it's probably not best suited for pushing bullets that heavy, but I could be wrong.

Warmer temps are around the corner, and I'll be out chrono'n

Tested about 60 loads yesterday. Most were with the stock barrel, and were just starting loads.

Tested several D036.03 (Shooters World Auto Pistol) vs #5 in the LW 5.15". They're VERY close. Direct link to those results: http://10mm-reloaded.com/load_data/D036_vs_aa5.html

Nice work Benchrest, The data says that the they should be the same by charge weights...Looks like they were close enough.

[Benchrst]

Thanks Shadow

Also did one comparison between D037.02 & #9:


180 RMR 13.2gr D037 CCI 350 1,135 FPS
180 RMR 13.2gr #9 CCI 350 1,176 FPS

Need to run a few more tests.

[The_Shadow]

Thanks Benchrest, just to clarify for those who may not know, SHOOTERS WORLD RELOADING PROPELLANTS are LOVEX powders and sold under the names like MAJOR PISTOL & HEAVY PISTOL
They are two different LOVEX D037 powders  LOVEX D037-01 (MAJOR PISTOL is like AA#7) and LOVEX D037-02 (HEAVY PISTOL is like AA#9)

Thanks again Shadow. I should have offered some explanation of what I was talking about!

If you like AA#7, you really need to try VV N105.  It performs better than #7 and isn't dirty burning.  I'm surprised you left it out of your tests.

Haven't left it out, more of a haven't got to it yet.

N105, A0, A1, & GM3 are inbound from Powder Valley, so over the next couple of months those will show up on the spreadsheet.

It's truly a project-in-the-works.

Yesterday's results: http://10mm-reloaded.com/load_data/10mmLoadResults04-02-16.html

Or just see the master file linked on page 1.

Contains a single D032 / #2 comparison, and I furthered the 180 RMR D037.02 / #9 loads.

My limited testing suggests the Lovex line is similar to Accurate's, but not identical.

[TightLines]

Haven't been shooting a lot of 10mm lately but that's about to change.

Just wanted to pop-in and thank you again for all the work.

Incredible set of data here.

Magnum opus on that list of loads for the 10mm.  It will save me lots of work with the chrono on my own.  Many thanks.
