Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Winchester 155gr Silvertips
March 22 2014 12:10:57 PM MDT
We just reloaded a ton of the 175 grain win silvertip using bluedot and x800 in win brass. We were getting 1275-1325 fps all day long. We loaded about 50 with win 231 and while they were less fps they were dead accurate. I imagine the 155s can easily get to 1400. The 175 silvertips is one of the most accurate loads for 10mm I've done. This is shooting 5-25 yards out of glock 20 and 29 stock barrels.  As a off the shelf ammo the 175 is highly regarded. Wish I had some silvertip 155 to reload, have tons of nosler for that grain.

Few dummy rounds left over

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Blue Dot , or IMR 800 X ?

Can't find either bluedot or x800 anywhere so I'm stuck with 231. Both bluedot and x800 rock for 10mm.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: Glock 20 Gen 4

FTF on last round is almost always a mag spring issue.

If you want I have dozens of g20 10 round glock factory mags for sale or trade.

What happened at the range with the new factory mag?

Beautiful gun but I can't stand 1911s. For that price I can buy three new glock 10mm. The irony is for most in order to get a 1911 to perform well they have to spend 1k+.

If I had to travel to a anti-gun state I would...

1. Ignore the state laws and carry.

What good is a gun in a safe or at home when you are not there? Or a car which is thee worst idea as theft can happen and then you would be out a gun, some criminal would have it and you would have to report your gun was stolen in a anti-gun state.

I chose not to travel to anti-gun states. Mine and my family's safety is more important than possible criminal charges and jail for myself because of stupid and ignorant laws. The law is no reason for ignorance.
What you do is your business, everyone has the ability to make a choice and the consequences of that choice need to be acknowledge and accepted. It would never be an issue for me as I boycott not only anti-gun companies but anti-gun states. Out trips to visit relatives in LA and Big Bear Lake in CA ended many years ago.

Hello,

My name is Chris. 40 something male from Minneapolis. I have always been a glock guy, first glock was a 17 in 93. Have owned most glock models. Made the jump to 10mm in 2001 after realizing the 9mm, .40 and most semi-auto calibers just don't have enough of the best of both worlds for me, ft-lb and ft/sec. 10mm is the best of both worlds. Only handgun caliber other than .50ae and .44mag I shoot and reload.

Born in MN, have lived in northern WI, northern CA, south FL and southeastern TX. Back in the twin cities for good. No place like home. Worked in masonry for 10 years from high school, then tower construction in the communications industry for 8 years then a short stint of 2 years with case/new Holland where I said goodbye to the workforce and started my own biz in the tech industry. Couldn't be happier and healthier. I have only been reloading for a few years but have been a gun enthusiast since age 12. I love shooting glock 20 and 29s, desert eagles and S&W revolvers. I also shoot .223 in ar platform, .308 and .300 win mag in bolt and would like to shoot .338 and/or .50 in rifle someday.

Hope to learn some more about 10mm here and meet a few friends along the way. Thanks.
