10 mm handload

[Hogshooter]

Just bought a quantity of Doube Tap 200 gr. WFNGC hard cast projectiles for my Glock 20 to use for a deep penetrating woods round. Currently running the stock barrel but soon to purchase a KKM fully supported one. Any one have a good load to start with using Blue Dot as a powder since that is what I use for the 180 gr. XTPs ?

Re: 10 mm handload

I remember when Mike McNett was posting at GlockTalk and it got me to use 800X in 10mm. I had nothing but good things to say about him. Later he formed Double Tap. It has been less than 10 years, I would guess he not changed his stripes and is still a great guy.

The Alliant book load for 200 gr Blue Dot is 8.9 gr.

With an aftermarket barrel, I can only get 13.25 gr to fit.
That is an over load, but it is still a wimpy load, with lots of muzzle flash.

In an effort to find the most power posssible, I have experimented with 180gr and 200 gr.
I have experimented with STEEL, LONGSHOT, Blue Dot, Enforcer, AA#9, Power Pistol, H110, 3N37, and N105.

The most power is with 800X and 200 gr, but it is a pain to meter.

The next best choice is Power Pistol and 200gr.

If you have poor case support, you must work up loads, and look at each fired case before proceeding. The ability to idenify a guppy belly case bulge is required.

Re: 10 mm handload

I shoot 9.8gr of Blue Dot under a 200 XTP in my factory G20. At 10.0gr I started to bottom the recoil spring out.

I've since switched to a heavier spring but I haven't revamped the load yet, it's on my long list of things to do.

As Clark mentioned, Mike McNett's information on the 200gr loads with 800X pushed me to buy some of it but I haven't gotten around to trying it out... again, that list of things I haven't gotten around to yet.

Re: 10 mm handload

Thnaks for the input. I currently shoot a 180 XTP in front of 10.0 gr. BD with the stock barrel and a 20# spring. I figure I will start at around 9.0 and work up from there with the 200 WFNGC
