Thanks, I had an in home DR visit/exam on Wed of this week and need to get my Dyalysis port put in soon. I am looking forward to feeling better when my bloood gets cleaned out thouroughly for a change. Then, after (hopefully) a Kidney Transplant. Sherri is doing GREAT! Thank you for asking.
FWIW, 14.8 and 15.0 gr of AA#9 did zero, zip for more speed over my chronograph. I figured that at those levels I was just using powder and upping the pressuure with no real benefit so the 14.6 was, in my 5 inch gun, a sweet spot of sorts. Almost no shot to shot variation in velocity, and a true 1 inch at 25 years accuracy load in my RIA 10mm.
Do you mind sharing with me, via PM perhaps, your heavier bullet load?
Blessings abundant,
MARK
I'm loading 14.8 with my 180 XTP's & 14.5 with my 200 gr XTP's. Both my Glock 20 & my Kimber Match 10 are shooting 5 shots into 1" @ 25 yards off of a sandbag, with both the 180's & 200's. I would expect that kind off accuracy from my Kimber & Les Baer 10mm's, but who the heck would have thought an ugly ole stock Glock 20 would be that accurate!
Needless to say, my Glock 20 won't EVER be for sale! It's my go to gun when I'm bow hunting in the lower 48 where black bears & mountain lions are in abundance.
Prayers on the way to find you a new Kidney!
I thought you did not publish your top loads here.
