Title: Loading a cast bullet, what is you favorite load?
Post by: Willie on March 08 2016 07:59:26 PM MST
Hi there, I have a #20 Glock in 10mm and want to load some cast bullets to shoot in it. I ordered a Storm Lake barrel, a Lyman mold for a 150 grain bullet, the resizing die for my #45 Lube/Sizer but I can't come up with a specific load for that bullet in 10MM, anyone out there care to help me out here??

You can use a slightly heavier bullet (lead) as a good start for your data and work from there

All my data and manuals are literally on the other side of the world right now...but I generally just use jacketed data, reduce 10% and work up.

I want to thank you all for your advise, and especially "The Shadow" for the loads, where did you get those from? :D ;D

Lyman cast bullet handbook would be my guess.  I have the last two editions, and it is good data.

Yes this is Lyman's cast data for 10mm, I cast the 175 grain TC BB  #401368 and also have the Lyman Devastator 156 grain single cavity HP mold that is the same design as the 175 gr but with a hollow pointer pin.

You may have see them as posted in the hunting section;

I've been using 10.0 of bluedot over my home cast and powdercoated 180's with good results.

Diameter is 0.4015" using Carnauba Red Lube.   Mine run between 12 & 14 straight wheel weight.  I can make them softer at about 8-10 if I add more straight lead.  I may try them dead soft with shake & bake Powdered Paint coated some day
