OFFICIAL: 10mm semi auto Picture Thread

[s0nspark]

I have never reloaded before but it seems now is the time to learn.

Agree.  There are a few of us here that have all begun handloading in the last year or so.

I hope to join that crowd shortly *fingers crossed*

No doubt it's a bit of a step starting out if you aren't made of money.  Especially if you insist on all brand new equipment like me.  But I've whittled away little by little, piece by piece, and it's all finally just really coming together (100% single stage at this point).  Now my only problem is needing XTP bullets which seem to be at zero availability for now.  In the mean time I'm now stocked up with a few thousand brand new Starline Brass 10mm cases, a fair amount of primers, and plenty of powder for load development.

Best of luck moving forward!

Actually, it's a BAD time to start! Obummer caused panic buying/hoarding is also affecting reloading supplies, not just guns and ammo. Powder and primers are almost always out of stock now days. Even Lee Precision Dies are hard to come by!

It's never too late to start reloading
Prices will only go up....SO;
Always collect your Brass
Even if you start with a Lee Loader or a Hand Press, start buying Tools
You don't need to pay hundreds (of dollars) to get started
I started (back in '73) with a Lee Loader and loaded tens of thousands of Rounds with that little Kit

Collect you brass for sure.

When moving I found 300 pieces of 10mm brass I saved back in the 90's when I had my Delta Elite.  It was like christmas finding those.

Christmas for friends too, since I found a couple hundred 45 ACP and a couple hundred 357 magnum.

No doubt true.  By the same token I would still encourage anyone interested in getting started to get started as soon and as quickly as their funds and availability of product allow.

True ... kind of like getting your first car during the '70's gas shortage :-)

Still, better to start somewhere...

A little better shot of the TLE/RL


Note the Colt magazines. I've never had problem with one except the one I run over in my garage, but with new spring it will most likely be 100% again. Don't ask...things just sometimes happen.

Well, I DID just get some primers, and a couple pounds of powder online. So it's not impossible, just hard.

And super expensive compared to 3 years ago. Three years ago powder was $18 a pound and primers $20 to $25 a 1000/brick. Glad I stocked up back then.

Last November, I got 1000 Wolf Primers on sale for 14 bucks. Saw one place online today that actually had them in stock.....$50!!!!!

Gougers!

IIRC they were up to $10 a brick till Obama and then up again and again then the panic buying of reloading components started in Dec last year when Dem-wits were trying to stop everything gun related, another big effect was the influx of new re-loaders for 223 and then it went to pistol shooters and it's just now kind of catching up and will get back to normal if people stops panic buying.

Took about three YEARS to get back to normal the FIRST time Obummer was elected. I am SO glad he can't run three times!

Ummm, I ran out of pics of my 10mm's? How about one with ALL my semi-autos except my new Fusion Firearms 10mm?
