Hello my name is Joshua I just picked up a Ruger lc carbine in 10mm, I absolutely love it and the cartridge, I am just getting started reloading for it, so I am really glad there is a form like this. Have a blessed day

Quote from: The_Shadow on October 11 2025 07:49:20 AM MDTIt seems that this was a result of the firearms industry "Blasting Something New" for a market just to add another gun and cartridge.  I see this as them having to develop the firearms, magazines and then you need to consider bullet designs and development as well. Not much in bullet designs out there.

S&W pricing dropped because the market just doesn't work out for this with the constant pushing of the 9mm platforms and ammo. Just like the 1911 pistols & 45ACP that has been pushed like dope in every magazine or advertisements over the years. 

They could have made a 38 Super necked down for the 30 Super which might have been even better.

I'm just rambling some but if I were to use 30 Super I'd likely run some Lehigh Defense Xtreme Penetrator Bullets Fluted bullets if those existed...

Yeah, I'm long past discussions and comparisons between calibers. I own so many firearms and calibers that don't make sense.

I'm bored and I like new odd ball offerings. When the .327 Federal Magnum came out, I was one of the first to own a matching Ruger.

I guess I also have a thing for the James Bond calibers.

$269.99 for a new S&W pistol is extremely cheap. I spend more at COSTCO every time I go.

Calibers I really enjoy are all the .32, 10mm, .308, .500. Next one up is .338 Lapua but that will cost a lot more.

I got a thing for .312 bullets, love my .327 Federal Magnum revolvers and all related calibers.

Naturally the "new" 30 Super Carry causes a lasting itch and I'm considering to get a S&W Shield Plus.

Wish I'd have more options, but I'll have to invest some in order to expect other brands to come around. Which is very unlikely. looking at the track record so far.

Massive deal at Grab Gun, half off: $269.99 instead off $549.00:

Even made a round when the news hit a few years ago, before you could buy any, just to get a feel for it. Next to a ten.

How do you guys feel about this caliber today? Time for something new? Just because?

RedTeam98 it wasn't a moderator that removed the picture.  Some links didn't carry over as the forum changed over.  Also several photo hosting sites, youtube have changed their product options.

I would test them before I carried them for defensive purposes. I carry a 200 grain WFNGC for bear defense. I'm confident a CNS hit with them will stop a bear.

The Berry Thick Plated 200 and 220Gr FN is very good trail bullet with my load of 8.6 of Longshot with either bullet.

Great Bear Defense Bullet

Still have a bunch of them from 2019😀
