What’s needed for reloading 10mm

[novelty]

Where are you located? I would be willing to sell a few hundred for the normal price if your close.

Thanks a lot for the offer. I can wait until it's available. Don't have a 10mm pistol yet.

Primer: spp?
Powder:
Bullet:
Brass


I might start reloading it. Had the thought earlier and gave it up

The original 10mm brass used Large Pistol Primers. Some of the newer stuff is using Small Pistol Primers.

Yeah, federal has it, blazer has it, but the good stuff is still running LPP.


I bet for CCI, it makes sense since they can run it through the .40S&W machines.

I've loaded about 25K rounds of 10MM I like that round. I chose berrys 155 grain hollow base for my kimber eclisp and it really likes them. I use 6.4 grains of WIN 231 and shoot them well. Lot of options on bullet weight ---I went for speed for a hard hit. I ran powder loads from about 5.7 to 6.7 and settled on 6.4. Enjoy!!

I run the Alliant powders of Unique and Blue Dot in my 10MM. Reloading makes that cartridge really fun to shoot. You will enjoy it.

I have read, and that doesn't mean that it is true, that the original designer of the 10mm later came out and said that he wished that he had designed it with Small Pistol Primers. One nice advantage with the small primer pocket is the ability to use Small Rifle Primers to help prevent cratering.

Just an observation : I travel for work and routinely stop at the Cabellas/Bass pro type stores.
Pistol Ammo is cleaned out everywhere “Except 10mm” with the entire shelf bare
The lone pile of ammo seems to be 10mm.
Maybe it’s the bullet to shoot in lean times ?
