10mm powder

[tercel89]

Can powder specified for .40S&W be used to load 10mm ? For some reason I can't find any powder that shows that it is specifically made for 10mm . Any help is appreciated.

There are several powders that work equally as well for 10mm and .40S&W-

I use Alliant 2400 and Bullseye-

And also, Hodgen HP38-

But there are other powders that work as well-

The 2400 I use strictly in 10mm-

Choosing which powder to use would depend a lot on the intended load-bullet weight-and powder on hand-

Target or hunting load-protection or 4- or 2-legged varmint-

Accurate No.7 I believe if not No.9

Titegroup is what I use in my pistols, from 25 ACP to 44 MAG.

Powder manufacturers do not build a powder to a specific cartridge.  The broader the range the more powder they sell.  Many powders are available to 10mm as seen above.  Do your research and testing, you will find a powder that you like.

I agree with the 2400. If you compare it with 357 Magnum and don't try to load it to hot, you will accomplish your mission. I promise you will know when it goes off.

Yeah, a "slower" powder like 2400 should be good.

Thanks everyone. I want to try and load it very light t at first like I do 9mm and 45. Then work up to maybe a medium. All my reloading's are mainly for target fun. For hunting I will stick with Underwood's game loads. I'm going to try to take a deer this year with my Glock 20. And maybe get some wild pigs later. The area I hunt is very thick and grown up with shrubs and all kinds of mess. My mother-in-law hasn't had the area bush-hogged in several years and it's so thick now I can barely get a straight line of sight for a good 100 feet. So most hunting will be close-up.

Depending on what projectiles you're using I could share some data.

Do you have any suggestions on what kind for powder for a 10mm using 180 and 200 grain XTP’s on the “hotter”side? I bought some CCI Blazer Brass ammo 180 grain and they do not seem to be snappy. I read that most of the 10mm target loads are loaded on the “light” side.I’d just like to have some ammo with a little more punch to it.

I have a Glock 20 with a Lone Wolf barrel,and also the stock barrel. 
I may  pick up some Longshot powder. I have several other kinds too already.

Any help is appreciated.

I have used 800X for both 10mm and 40S&W. It is a hot load powder. Only downside is it does not meter well.

 Have to measure each and every charge.

[jeff43]

Yeah that’s what I have read about 800x

[scatman]

Accurate might have better options, either no.7 or no.9, I can't remember off the top of my head and currently all my load stuff is in storage. Might also look into titegroup.

What Mista Scatman said... I would look at AA#9 for my " hot " 10 mm loads.  I've burnt quite a bit of #9 in " hot " 357 SIG loads with great results.

leroy...

[jeff43]

I’ll see what I can find, I know I can get Longshot powder

[myg30]

Blue Dot powder.  
If it’s a real dry day, don’t be in the brush ! Lol. 
This is a Glock 29 loaded with blue dot and a gas checked lead cast bullet. Picture was a frame from a video of my buddy shooting my 29.

Google your load date and work up for safety. Check several sources too.

‘There are better powders out there now, but BD was well known for its flash. The picture is the proof.

 

Be safe, go slow and always work up your loads.

Hogdon discontinued 800-X.

CFE Pistol. They had it in Academy this week too. Great powder for a variety of handguns.

[jeff43]

I bought some Longshot powder to try and 180 grain XTP’s

[JustEd]

10mm powder.?  Man I don't think my RCBS powder measure can throw grains that big.

Seriously, would think any of the Hodgdon or Winnie powders suggested for 40 SW should work fine

CFE Pistol, HP38 or Titegroup should all work well.  I use CFE Pistol in 9mm, 38/357 and 45 acp

Titegroup lasts longer per pound though and well...groups TITE.

I don’t mean to be obtuse, but look in your reloading manual, then see what listed in there your local store has available. A man can’t be too choosy these days.

Yeah , l know what you mean on being choosy. I got plenty of different powder for it , but wanted some for higher FPS. So I got some Longshot , hadn’t used any of it before.
