Recently acquired my first 10mm. FN 510 MRD, which is the non “tactical” version with a 4.1” barrel vs 4.71”. I would like the see a little more velocity. At least over 1250 with 180gr. With Berry’s 180gr I got…
8.6gr 800X 1.260 OAL - 1130avg
13.5gr Accurate No. 9 1.260 OAL - 1167avg
I stopped with those loads because primers were becoming flat and it was the max load for a few manuals including Hodgdon’s website. However, the Hornady manual goes up to 10.1gr for 800X and 14.9gr for No. 9.
I’m kind of iffy on going over Hogdon over Hornady. Would it be worth it to get the tactical barrel which is only 0.61” longer to squeeze more velocity?
