      Hey guys. Good morning

      I’ve been loading for a while and I’ve been on and off with 10mm since 2007 or so.
      Here a year and a half ago or so I got an sig xten. Had to get a box of factory ammo to start shooting while I was waiting on components to drop.
      I got 500 S&B jhp started. Then I got 1000 winches ranger t pulls. After that I order 3500 180gr hst pulls. I’m just finishing loading the last 200 or so hst now.
      I was using Alliant 2400 to start. I love the powder for heavier bullets. But it’s so bulky you don’t get the speed out of it. I use it with some 200gr Nosler ASP bullets I picked up. Then I played with some some shooters world heavy pistol. Which loads pretty identical to 2400. I had it left over from some 458 socom loading. So figured I’d burn it up.
      I got 5lbs of aa #9 for the 180s. I really like the powder. It gives me pretty good velocity. I run about 1240fps at my charge of 14.5gr.
      I also load a bit shorter to get away from the mag clearance issues with certain bullets. So my col is 1.245” instead of 1.26”.
      It’s a great shooting combo. I’m about 2500 rounds through the pistol now.
      I picked up 1000 165gr gold dot pulls to load and play with. I ordered a couple pounds of longshot to use with it. But for the mean time I loaded a few to check length and velocity with my #9. I loaded at 15gr and 1.245”. I’m gonna run out to shoot them tomorrow.
      Anyhow. Just figured I’d make my first post kind of all over the place lol.

      Shooter’s World HEAVY PISTOL D037-02 Heavy Pistol Powder: is LOVEX D037-02 which is the same as AA#9 burn rate

      Shooter’s World MAJOR PISTOL D037-01 Major Pistol Powder: is LOVEX D037-01 which is the same as AA#7 burn rate

      I found 2400 to be too slow for me so I started out 1990 with Hercules Blue Dot which yielded great accuracy.

      Longshot is great for high velocity loads.

      BE-86 has proven great overall with various bullet weights and types.

      I’ve got heavy pistol also. But running a 13.5gr with a 180gr bullet only gets me 1125-1160fps. And it’s a lot more snappy than 2400 or AA #9. I loaded 10 up with 14gr aa9 to go shoot today hopefully. My other powder should be here Monday or Tuesday.

      AA 9 works great especially with CCI 350 primers in 10mm

      14.0 with 180
      13.0 with 200
