I'm venturing to potentially shoot in some Bullseye matches starting this spring, and id like to keep my options open on the weapons to consider for these purposes. "Something always might be better out there, and you'll never know until you try it" has been my thinking on the matter.
Up until now, I admit that my handloading for 10mm has been primarily focused on getting the most bang-for-buck out of the caliber. I've yet to make a load that fires a 180gr projectile less than 1,200 fps in fact most of the loads have exceeded 1,300fps out of m 6" Glock 40MOS
These loads being middle to max published data for powders like Longshot, Power Pistol, Blue Dot and AA#9 with jacketed 180 grain projectiles.
I'm now ready to consider using my Glock 40 MOS (with Afrermarket Alpha Wolf barrel with regular land/groove rifling to shoot raw cast/lead and better chamber support) as a bullseye match gun. It has a nice long sight radius, 6" barrel, heavy long slide.....and I'm most accustomed to shooting Glocks more than any other handgun...shooting 17s, 19s and 34s for who knows how many tens of thousands of rounds over about a 20 year period.
I'd like to develop a 10mm target load using 165 or 180gr SWC possibly from Missouri bullet co. Or SNS casting. Powders I have on hand I'd consider using are WW-231 (1st choice) or CFE Pistol (2nd choice) or a light end Power Pistol (3rd choice)
If I can shoot groups as good or better than I can with my other semi-autos (due to the longer sight radius and barrel) then this would win the vote. Note: I'm guessing these loads would be around 750-850 fps. But could vary, depends on accuracy and cycling reliability.
Any experiences with these bullets in 10mm Glocks or other 10mms for that matter?
I've used SWC in 45 autos and I don't recall issues.
