180 grain Truncated Cone (grooveless) - 92

140 grain Truncated Cone - 91

165 grain Truncated Cone (grooveless) - 90

155 grain round nose - 91

I am biased, I own the RIA and did not want a Glock even though my first 10mm was way back when Glock first released a 10mm. My RIA is my EDC.

seriously, I'm jealous of someone who can edc a full size steel 1911

10mm semi-auto handguns / help me decide...

Ok.  Here's the deal.   I recently bought a g20 (Gen 2) on a whim.   had always wanted a 10mm and this is my first.  I love it....    but!   I really really like 1911's and shoot them better than anything.   just realized that rock island makes a 10mm 1911 and reviews are good.   I can't afford both right now!!!  Do I sell the g20 and get the RIA or stick with what I have?   

purely a fun gun.  Won't carry or hunt with either.  G20 has tactical length lone wolf barrel.

curious to your thoughts on factors I should consider.    I do shoot the g20 pretty well.

Those are more like Glock (ejection) Love Bites
My G20 did the same thing to my Brass
It added just one more reason I hated the thing !

And yes, they ARE safe to reload and yes, they Resized / Fireformed out

curious, what other things did you hate about the g20?   loving mine so faf

As a hint look at your slide for brass markings.  Generally you will see where the brass is hitting the slide as it goes through ejection.

yep..  brass marks pretty heavy on the ejection port...  got heavier spring today..  stay tuned...

It can be eliminated if you know what is causing the problem.  The things that come to mind are;

1) The extractor as it is pulling the spent casing out of the chamber, is it hold the casing too tight against the breech, sort of trapping in position.  Usually this results in a tear at the case mouth or dents as the front of the casing is lifted by the next cartridge and jammed against the barrel hood when the slide is returning to battery.  Extractor may require cleaning and lubrication, could be wrong extractor or even damaged.  On a semiauto you do not want to drop a cartridge in the chamber and have the extractor try to jump over the case rim when the slide returns to battery.  As the feed from the magazine they slide under the extractor.

2) The ejector is struck by the spent casing as the slide travels rearward, it is kicked out from under the extractor.  A short stroke may not knock it off the extractor hook.  Too strong or binding recoil springs could be suspect.  Excessive slide speeds usually send the casing flying further than they should.  Some casings can strike the ejection port with enough force to cause dents, look for brass marking around the ejector port. Stronger recoil springs may help.

This has officially become my favorite shooting website.  THANKS!!!!  exactly what I was looking for...  Trying to learn a lot.

Thanks to everyone.   Are these type dings possible to eliminate?  wondering if a new stronger recoil spring might help..

All of the brass came from ammo I reloaded.  10.3gr blue dot with 180 gr rainier plated hollow points.  G20 Gen 2 with a new storm lake barrel (tactical length).

Please confirm that these are merely "dings" from hitting the slide when being ejected and not the dreaded glock smile...  most of the brass has this, even with a lighter load..   

1) is this brass safe to re-use

2) assuming my hunch is right and this is NOT the dreaded smile that ruins brass, what do you recommend to eliminate these "dings".  New recoil spring>?

the brass cases were new starline.. I have fired them once.

Excellent.  Will give those a shot


#10
Cool.  So can those be purchased somewhere?   I believe you said you cast your own
#11
Thanks.   that helps a ton.

who offers some 200 gr hardcast with a flat point? TC or similar?  I'm doubting g20 will feed swc's.

any 200 gr lead projectiles you'd recommend for someone who doesn't cast their own.?  Bayou only has round nose in 200's

Reloading 10mm ammo / 200 gr bayou bullets and blue dot
October 12 2014 07:46:19 AM MDT
Hi all, first post on the forum  but been lurking a while.   

I've been reloading about 10 yrs but just bought my first 10mm.   (g20)

I have already had good success with blue dot and 180 rainier plated bullets, but have bought some bayou bullets in 2000gr rn variety.   I have blue dot, enforcer and 231 on hand.    looking for something stout but not dangerous.   the searching I've done on the web shows 200gr with over 10gr of blue dot, but my manuals have very limited 10mm data and only show a charge of 8.9.

these are coated bullets and I'm using a 5.1" lone wolf barrel...  Especially interested in upper end ranges with blue dot and enforcer.
