Loading 220 Gr Cast bullets with Blue Dot, trying to get an affordable load for practice to duplicate Buffalo Bores 220 Gr hard cast load.

The long heavy bullets are tricky to load and still feed right, using a taper crimp and plunk testing in my barrel. Load worked well in my Glock 20 but thinking my Springfield XDM in 10 mm has a tighter chamber.

Anyone use Lee factory crimp die in a 10mm?

Not much if any data on 220 cast loads, any data please share especially with Blue Dot. Thanks


measured my bullet diameter 200 gr cast .4010 220 gr cast .4018 jacketed 200 gr Hornady .40 cast bullets were local not commercial.
