Travis Just factory so far. I bought Buffalo Bore 180's (couldn't find 220's) for last summers' Bob Marshall ramble. I need to get on the Dillon "list" for a 550 conversion and dies. They are backordered on most things a month or more. Midway is backorder on brass as well. I'm going to do this one right. Trijicon HD sights, fluff and buff with a Zevtec Race connector, and a Storm Lake ported barrel

Are those loads pretty warm? I've never shot or chrony'd them.

Underwood had 220 gr hard cast loads in stock last week. i bought 500 for the G20. it took 6 weeks or so of watching the web site to get some. i've just installed Novak night sights and am kicking the idea of buying a KKM compensated barrel for it.

yea, the Buffalo Bore are supposed to run about that fast, but are ok to run in Colts, while Underwood says theirs is not for Colts. starting from scratch with the 10mm since the shortage kinda cramps the options. Top Brass had brass a while ago but i fumbled and missed out.

Underwoods 230 grain 45 super at 1100 FPS does not seem like a bad load. Wish they loaded hard cast bullets in the 45 super.

I'm not recoil sensitive in the least. One of my favorite guns that I own is a Ruger Blackhawk in 45LC that spits out Corbon 300gr bullets at around 1350fps. That's far more recoil than my G29 in 10mm had, on it's hottest load. Glocks just do a good job at spreading out the recoil. That said, there is a ton of reasons that I sold my 10mm and went to a 9mm Glock 19 for defensive purposes. If I ever decide to revisit the 10mm, it will be in the Glock 20. It won't be my primary defensive handgun although it can serve that duty. I'd just love to hunt with it!

I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

The 180 BB loads had a tad more snap than factory Remington, but you would only notice it if you were looking for it. Shooting 100rds at the range is no problem. Shooting 500 might be a problem. I think I saved few of the BB 180's to chrono, but I keep forgetting my chrony when I go to the range.

I think the super is for me, I was torn regards the 10 and pure hunting cartridge, however the super will do the same thing and change a spring to shoot commonly available 45ACP.
I did get a chance to try and find the red dot in an RMR today. I am pretty convinced Good iron sights will work better than a red dot on a pistol, it takes a bit to find the dot.

The 10mm would have sold much better if it was the 40 S&W....
Just sighted in a Colt Double Eagle yesterday; I love the round, but not everyone does, because it is what it is:
Too hot for mainstream and too mild for the hardcore.
I'd not hesitate to get a Colt Defender if they ever made it in a 10mm (they won't).
That is the unfortunate space the Super 40 occupies....

It had been named better! I mean, 10mm sounds like "Just a teensy bit bigger than the puny, ineffective 9mm" to most, I think.
How about
400 Automag!
400 Magnum Express!
411 Leviathon!
40 Super!
A little bit of marketing in the cartridge nomenclature and I think that many more of us would have and be shooting 10mm auto pistols. I sure like mine, but it is often a pain in the buttinsky to get ammo or loading supplies. And when non shooters ask me what I carry (IF they learn that I carry - which is damned few) and I reply 10mm I get a blank stare. I would much prefer to reply with "400 Automag" or something similar and such a name would more properly relate what kind of cartridge this is and what it is capable of. Possibly the single most effecticve semi auto pistol cartridge that can be housed in a normal sized and weight pistol. 50AE and the Desert Eagle guns are all anomolies and big honkin freakazoids in my view. But a Glock 20SF or a 1911 in 10mm? THERE one has a packable, portable useful firearm that can do double duty on big game or engage and assailant at 100 yards or more with a reasonable chance of scoring deadly hits.
What do you all think? Would a better, more knarly sounding name have helped out my favorite autopistol cartridge? I think the 10mm would have sold just fine if the pistol that was designed for it would have been produced and sent to market as promised. The failure of the Bren Ten hurt the 10mm. By the time that Colt entered the market with their 10mm 1911 the 10mm was no longer lustrous and sells were not brisk. IMHO the 10mm is not superior to the 45 Super. I prefer the larger bore in a side arm To an extent. I think the Bren Ten was a fine gun from all accounts, but there just weren't any of them when people wanted them. Then the luster was off of the cartridge by the time other, more affordable options, existed. Plus the fact that there were three nearly identical cartridges available all at once. .40 caliber has never been very popular anyway. The 41 Mag. and 38 WCF are both excellent cartridges, that just weren't/aren't very popular. Heck, maybe for its time the 38 WCF was the most popular of all of them. I like the 10 and get itchy for one every once in awhile even though I admit to really having no need for one. If I could find one I could lay hands on and get it for a decent price, I'd like to try out a Witness in this caliber.

If you go by how many different loads are available on Midway's website as a measure of relative popularity, the 10mm ranks 9th in handgun cartridges with (51) loads.
It beats the .357sig(35), .41mag(29) and .44special(33).
