Amoore1960 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I am looking for load suggestions for upper scale loads. Not Necessarily nuclear but I want to know I am not shooting a 40. I figure heavier bullets 180 or 200 to give the powder a chance to ignite better But I have very little experience with the shorter barrel and am gathering all the info I can.

cwall64 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I have been very pleased with AA #9 and Hornady HAPs or XTPs in 180 grain. With the midrange of Accurates data (http://www.accuratepowder.com/load-data/) I was able to get an average of 1275 FPS out of a Glock 20 with a KKM drop in barrel. Going closer to their max load I was getting over 1300 FPS, but I really was just looking for 1250 FPS, so I worke my loads down a little for more manageable recoil...

Amoore1960 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 I played with some Blue Dot last week, I was a little disappointed in the FPS but I chalk it up to the shorter barrel. LongShot gave me a lot better velocity and acceptable accuracy. I was getting 1275+ with a 180 and Longshot. With the Blue dot I was hovering at 1200 at 10.8 grs and starting to see primer flattening. I am sure I could run 11.0 grs but being a Commander and just a fun gun I don't see a need to push it faster. I choron'd some Atomic 180 ammo and the were running 1150. Accuracy was a bit better with the Blue dot over Long Shot and the recoil impulse was nice, so I am content with that since I have about 5lbs of Blue Dot but I will be getting some #9 to test out when I find some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Vmax Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) I am a LongShot fan and have been using it in my 10mm, 40 cal and 38 Super reloads. It has been very consistent. I have not gone beyond 8.5grs with 180 gr. bullets and have not put the load over a chrono yet. Edited October 4, 2015 by Eric_Vmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwall64 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 yes, LongShot is a great powder too, I completely forgot about all the containers sitting in my closet! I started out with LongShot, BE-86, & 800X- they all have worked well for me in 10mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlockDude Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Has anyone tried the new Glock 10mm. I am looking at a STI 10mm or a Tang 10mm, would like some thoughts on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwall64 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I have been looking at the Glock G40 also. Good reports on the from the 10mm-firearms forum, but personally I am waiting for them to be out a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
