Wait... didn't someone named "Clark" get the reloading forum shut down awhile ago for posting ridiculously dangerous loads at the 1911 forum?
Listen to Bovice.Hey guys i just got a glock and the ammo is ridiculously expensive! Good thing i hand load. Converting 30-30 to shoot in a 10mm, is it safe and/or better than regular 10mm cases? Whats the process?
The 40 S&W, if it is the right overall length, can it safely be shot from a 10mm bbl?
Right now i have 180gr hornady xp bullets and titegroup for powder. I'm ordering lee dies and starline brass sometime here soon. Any suggested loads?
Methinks you didn't read all the posts. Like post #18. I'm pretty sure it CAN be done.I am not sure how you think you can make 10mm brass out of 30-30 brass anyway.
Case length isn't the real issue; it's the loaded cartridge OAL.
I.e. what's the difference between a 40SW loaded to 1.200" and a 10mm loaded to 1.200"?
The 10mm will actually have more initial friction because the case has more contact with the bullet.

A stronger/heavier case would probably have less internal capacity when loaded to the same OAL.
