Ok everyone I did a search didn't find what I was wanting so I will ask.


What is your most accurate 10mm load. I will be loading plated bullets, more than likely 165gr. I have titegroup, unique, and power pistol.


Does not have use that weight of bullet or any of those powders, just hoping that someone out there had some experience with them
 
What's accurate in other guns may not be able to hit the side of a barn in your firearm.
 
Getting the most out of your 10MM.

For me, it's hard to beat LongShot or BlueDot to get the most out of your 10MM loads.

For now, your PowerPistol will work best out of the three listed powders..:)Bill.
 
In the 10mm I like the high end listing for LongShot and a Hornady 200gr TXP. If I want lighter recoil and power I pick up a 40 Short&W. But seriously I use a good dose of LS even with plated bullets. They are OK at ~ 1100FPS plus or minus. Longshort also works well in the 40 and the 9MM. at full power levels. Accuracy has been good in all guns. As said every gun is individual in its appetites.
 
Plated usually don't need to be driven to top velocity.

Out of the powders listed you should be able to find some 165 gr. loads for Unique, I'd recommend staying on the low end and as usual work your way up.

Google Alliant (manufacturer) they have 165 gr. Gold Dot data with 8.3 gr. as a MAX load.

Looks like they have Power Pistol too, remember to reduce your start load by 10%.

Visit the 10 Ring over on Glock talk for more "Internet" load data. I caution you to cross reference and develop your own data.
 
My best 10MM handload uses 180 Grain XTPs and Accurate #7. Accurate, powerful and gives straight through penetration on deer and hogs.

I don't generally give powder charges online. Use a good reputable loading manual, work up your powder charges and follow safe reloading practices.

Just my .02,

I feed my 10mm an all Accurate diet.

135 - 155 gets AA#5
160 - 175 gets AA#7
180 and up get AA#9

They were just what I worked up loads with when I got the pistol and I haven't found any reason to switch to anything else. I found I got top end velocities with them ans the flow through my measure like water. I get very low ES, and accuracy has been top notch.

What else could one ask for.
 
I've used Titegroup and HS6 with good results with an Xtreme 180 gr plated HP.
Shot some Power Pistol today but apparently it wasn't loaded high enough as I had keyholing and cases getting caught in the slide.
 
I like the 180 gold dots and xtps over 800x. Has always worked well out of the glock. 1200fps is easy to get without poking at the pressure goblin.
