Full FDE G 20 10mm

[TNAR]

This just came in yesterday  :pleased:   Special Ordered from Lipsey's. Can't wait to pump some lead with this. I know 10mm is scarce but any recommendations on good deals on 10mm Ammo?

Nice !

[Erik88]

I love the looks of that and the 10mm is an awesome round. I've heard guys say they love the Underwood 10mm ammo. 

 

 

SGammo has some in stock but it seems high.

10MM ammo is high.

Save the brass, get a mold, cast your own boolits.

RELOAD!

 

I have a 200 gr soild, 180 HP mold I use in our 40 cal Glocks, works great.

Nice. Congrats on the new piece. The Glock 20 is my favorite handgun. The 10mm is my favorite round. You won't be disappointed.  Start reloading ASAP. Be careful with these though because they're a high pressure round. A double charge (of powder) in a big, slow, low pressure 45 won't necessarily blow up and destroy your gun, but the 10mm is very likely to.

 

Good luck, safe shooting.

Check out Underwood ammo. Believe you can buy direct from them. Also, my local academy has Remington UMC 10mm.

Thanks Guys! I appreciate the info. Any advice on getting started reloading with 10mm? I have not reloaded in the past. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

Get a good book, Lee, Lyman, Hornady, are all good books.

Do you live near a cabelas? the one near me offers free reloading classes. It's best to learn from someone who already knows what they're doing--it will help boost your confidence. My wife got me a Lee Classic Turret press for Christmas this year and I love it. I use a Lee 4 piece die set (same as .40 sw cal), but adjustments will be made for seat depth and crimp etc. That sounds like chinese right now, but when explained it will make more sense. You can also familiarize yourself with Youtube videos, but keep n mind that you can be watching any old knucklehead, so read the comments and look at the "likes" to make sure the person is somewhat respectable.

 

The kit comes with most of what you will need to get started

I would recommend getting a digital scale though. I use one from Hornady, doesn't matter who makes it so long as it has units in grains.

FOr the die set you want the 4 piece that includes the CARBIDE factory crimp (this prevents you from needing to lube cases and extend case life)

Powder is preference. Right now handgun powder is very difficult to find. I'm currently using Bullseye, but, quite franly, that powder scares the poop out of me for use with 10mm. It's very dense (doesn't fill up much of the case) making it much less noticeable if you double charge. I will be switching powders for high pressure rounds when I come across some different brands.

 

Cases you will start collecting at the range. Ideally you will never need to buy new brass because plenty of people leave it on the floor for you to take home. eventually you will have a nice stockpile. Amortizing the cost of brass over time is where the biggest savings are for reloading. Although it's cheaper regardless.

 

500-600 bucks start up cost sounds like a lot, but when you consider the fact that 1000 rounds of 10mm factory ammo costs over 600 bucks, you can see it pays for itself after first 1k rounds.

http://www.ammoman.com/10mm

 

To start a new caliber, all you need is the correct die set (~$50), brass you should already have (since your collecting at the range now), and projectiles. In some cases you may need different powders. But there are a lot of good cross compatible powders as well. Primers are either small, large or magnum so they cross function as well.

 

 

**keep in mind the ammo above is just standard 180grain factory. Not familiar with that ammo, but if it's watered down stuff your essentially just shooting an expensive 40sw. Look at the 10mm like it is a 40sw magnum (because that's really what it is). It would be akin to buying expensive 357 mag ammo that's loaded to the equivalent of it's ballistically inferior little brother, the 38 special. When reloading, you can basically load the super hot, real-deal Buffalo Bore type loads for not much additional cost.

 

good luck and Godspeed!

Thanks sigequinox! Great information. I do not know of a Cabelas near Nashville but maybe Bass Pro or Gander Mountain have classes. Sounds like going down the reloading path makes a lot of sense for the 10mm Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

Man - I do so have a serious want for something in 10mm. 

[jeremy67A]

Load your own 10mm. Stuff you buy off the shelf is underpowered. Groups don't lie.

[DWARREN123]

Good looking pistol. To get the best out of it cheapest reload!

[musicman]

Go to the Reloaders Bench in Mt. Juliet. That's a REAL reloading store with EVERYTHING you'll need, and the advice to teach you to use it.

[zeke4351]

There is a wide range of factory ammo for the 10mm. You will probably need to change the recoil spring to shoot full power loads. A lot of the 10mm ammo has been watered down and the gun manufactures are shipping their guns sprung for the weaker stuff.

Me too.

That's a sweet looking gun, TNAR

[sybo]

Order from Underwood, good, full boat ammo, go to a 22 lb recoil spring! Save ALL the brass and start reloading, you can go from mild to wild!

[tnhawk]

Congrats on a nice looking pistol.  I'm watching the availability of 10mm ammo as I'd like to get one.  As mentioned above, get one or more reloading manuals and try to find a class before getting buying equipment and supplies.  I saved brass for several months before beginning to reload.

Freedommunitions.com had the best deal on 10MM... Underwood was OOS on every 10MM loading last week :-(

I got 300 rds of 10MM, with 250 of them being 180gr Hornady XTP, and 50 fmj, all new brass ammo for under $130 shipped.

[Norvell57]

I love my G20!!

 

If i didnt have a friend that reloads all my 10mm ammo I would use this site.

Wow, very very nice. This is one caliber I don't have but do plan on buying one real soon. I've been looking for a good used one but they are few and far between. Congratulations!!
