What's your go to bullet?

[DM1906]

I've been looking for a Ruger 10m with the .38-40 cylinder for a couple years. One of these days I will find it.

Good luck. When I got mine, there were many around in various conditions, and prices were reasonable. Not so now, on all accounts.

Yes, you are correct. I have had some crazy prices thrown at me. Well over a grand.

Sure. A heavy dose of 2400, but it won't fit in your 10mm Auto. This is a RBH .38-40 load.

Lol, that makes a lot more sense now. I thought maybe there was a typo at first.

No, not a typo. Bullet performance as it relates to the topic, offered as a comparison of brands and designs. I've pushed this caliber about as far as possible, and have seen first hand what works and what doesn't in a variety of platforms. For information purposes only, the .40" Barnes Tac-XP bullet can be pushed to penetrate 2 (two) layers of Class III ballistic soft body armor (through front and back, with barrier in between), and still destroy 2 water filled gallon milk jugs, from a 6.5" revolver. The lightest/fastest similar bullet in .460R (160 gr.) doesn't come close. THAT is scary.

My go-to PD bullet is an all-copper Barnes TAC-XP, 155g in the 10mm and 140g. in the 40S&W.  See http://10mm-firearms.com/reloading-10mm-ammo/10mm-loads-with-barnes-155g-tac-xp/
...for how well they expand and stay together.

My practice oads consist of the 175gr TC Lee bullet(weighs 180 with my alloy after being powder coated) over Titegroup for general plinking duty or bluedot for loads to match the recoil of my deer hunting load.

My deer hunting load is the 180XTP over bluedot.

I'm thinking of trying the powder coated Lee bullet on deer this year as they are super accurate out of my Glock 20 and are cheap!!!

That reminds me I'm out, better get to casting!

Great bullet!
