Home Forums Reloading Handgun Reloading 10mm Brass

I can't recover enough of my 10mm brass out of my XDM-10 and SR1911-10 to reload them enough times to comment. Yesterday, I retrieved 67% of my 10mm brass fired in the XDM-10, which was pretty good. I'm good for now, but I'm on the wait list for some Starline.

Not chasing down brass is a HUGE benefit of my awesome M610!

I went through more than a 100 pieces of brass yesterday. All range pick-up from both a Glock and Ruger 1911. I had to throw away all of the brass from the glock. Like I said in an earlier post, the glock really fu cks them up. I should take a picture of the carnage, but as much as it bulges out the bottom of the case, I for damn sure wouldn't be shooting the glock. I know you are a fan boy, but the unsupported barrel is a joke..

rember there are 2 different primer sizes in 10mm now. like the 45acp a bean counter got involved I guess. !!

Call me whatever but i will take a glock all day long over whatever is out there. Again only cases that are trouble are Underwood, Grizzly and buffaloe bore. The other stuff is fine r-p, Winchester, S&B, Sig and star line. But I think this post is more of the BSA way is the only way.. The rest of us are wrong..

And no I’m not flying to Oregon to shoot a bowling pin match lol..

Just federal and cci, I found some the other day. When I was sorting latest range pick up brass

Back in the 90,s loaded alot of 44mag for sil. shooting .,.,ran 32 1/2gr of H110 behind a 240gr. sil. bullet with cci 350 primer., was kinda hot,., but would take rams with a hit low on the body./.what would happen is the primer pockets would get loose..got a rcbs primer pocket swager to take out mil crimp on 30-06 brass.,, tried on 44 mag
tightend them right up.,.,.also used mostly rp brass never kept track of how many times reloaded..I just didnt reload till i had shot 900 out of my 1000 rd base..never had probs with case separations

Yeah your load with H110 and 240gr Bullets was/is only 8 1/2gr over max according to Hodgon data..

And I thought 24 grs was ambitious.

Ah, the old ‘Rocks and Dynamite’ school of silhouette handloads. I’d never do it, but to each their own....

A guy at the range was using one of these:

I tried it with my XDM-10, and it worked great. I ordered on for myself. I hate losing 10mm empties!

Yikes!! You're fuucking terrifying. Don't give advice on internet forums anymore. If you are shooting the primer pockets of 44 mag cases loose, you are so far into dipschit land that you should really keep it to yourself.

Nah he’s just drunk again......

I was just reminded that I've loaded one same lot of brass, mild to wild since 2017. I usually lose them before they are no longer usable, but I still have about 50 pieces left from that lot, XTreme headstamp.

This.

Those buldged cases can be saved with the lee buldge buster.

I'd not feed 10.5 under a 200 after a pass through the buster....but in a supported chamber, you'd be hard pressed to see where the budget was.

After removing that bulge, run them through a sonic case cleaner. Look down inside. You won't be loading full house loads in that brass after that I hope.

I can relate!

My clubs pistol range is grass, so I always used a tarp to catch my brass. However, once I started shooting my 10mm, I quickly realized I needed a larger tarp...lol!

30 years ago, I had a Colt Delta Elite, and I shot mostly PMC and Midway-marked Starline brass. Some time later, I sold the Delta and kept the loaded ammo. A couple of months ago, I bought a 6" RIA Match Ultra 1911, it has a ramped barrel the Colt didn't have. I've been shooting up that ammo I loaded (fairly stiff at the time) in the new pistol, and it's working just dandy, and showing fewer pressure signs than the Colt did (they were "book max") I never had issues with the Colt, but the RIA seems to take things a bit better in stride.

I didn't know what to expect with the "off-brand" RIA, but it's shown itself to be a very nice pistol, and it runs smoother than I remember the Colt running. All that old ammo, loaded from Hornady and SIerra's first published loads with stiff AA#7 loads, is shooting just plain fine. Even my plinking loads with AA#2/200gr.SWC are doing well enough to make me happy with the ammo/gun combination. I'd done a lot of work to the Colt, good sights, a Heinie compensator, and some other things, and it was a dandy. I should have kept it, I guess, but this new pistol is pretty nice in its own right.
