I have three additional Ed Brown magazines, too, and I want to make sure all five of my mags work so each one will get a little workout.

Very nice 1911. I agree with those who recommend slower propellants than you're using. The old standby 2400 should be a good bet along with AA#9.

The 10mm is a magnum pressure chambering and needs the slower propellants to reach it's potential without going over pressure.

Thanks Bristoe. I have lots and lots of 2400, so I may give it a try.

I’m with Bristoe on this. I have been loading 2400 in 10mm for my Glock 20 with excellent results for probably 20 years or more. I had to put a 22 pound recoil spring from Wolff in. I use Starline brass and toss them after the second use.
