I'd like to see more reasonably-priced (some would say, "affordable") "practice" loads at velocities that approximate those of the premium high-performance 10mm loads. For example, most 10mm fans know that Texas Ammo and MCNETT's Double Tap line-up offer full-power 10mm in a variety of bullet-weights.
While GA's 180gn FMJ practice load is certainly affordable, its 1100fps is a bit anemic. How about a 180gn FMJ or, better still, a Sierra 190gn FPJ load @
1290 fps to give those who prefer the hotter HP loads for carry something to shoot regularly at the range to keep their shooting skills and muscle-memory sharp?
A second 10mm load I'd like to see would be a quality
200gn 10mm/.40cal HP for self-defense use, like a Gold Dot or Golden Saber, loaded at genuinely "heavy & fast" velocities (and
not 1050fps, like Hornady's factory 200gn XTP load).
But, as MCNETT has indicated, the 180gn GD begins to fragment at velocities above 1200fps, so that's probably close to the max for a 200gn GD also, if they made one. But the GS is a "tougher" bullet and holds together better at higher velocities, which is also why Double Tap's high-velocity 165gn & 180gn GS loads produce in excess of 700fpe.
But I'm thinking a 200gn Golden Saber @ 1250fps would "make my day," as it were.
