    I’ve used BE86 with 155, 180, and 200’s but not 165’s. I’d start with that one. My “plinking” load is Zero 165’s with 9.5 LS. Sorry I’m no help…I would start at 8.5 gr. BE86 and see where that lands you velocity wise and go from there.

    I have that Garmin Chrono too, what a great little unit!

    Late reply, but if this bullet is the same profile as the DT 200 WFN, they have to be seated quite deeply in order for the bullet meplat to clear the interior of the magazine. 1.230″ was where I ended up to allow loading the magazine to capacity.

    BillinTexas, the Wilson works perfectly in the Tisas, it’s what I put in mine. I did have to trim the top to clear the adjustable sight. I can also say that it didn’t make a great deal of difference, if any. This Tisas, as well as both my Nighthawk 10mm’s launch the brass 30 feet, even with flat bottom firing pin stops and heavy main and recoil springs. It’s the nature of 10mm 1911’s, they are never going to drop empties 6 feet away with full power loads.

    The Tisas D10 is a surprisingly well outfitted gun for the money. Quality LPA rear sight, very nice checkering, decent slide to frame fit on my sample, and no MIM parts. I did the usual tear down and spit and polish on mine before I shot it, and was pretty impressed with the result. Installed a flat bottom firing pin stop, tweaked the trigger a bit and adjusted the extractor, and called it good. I was all ready to pickup the Yukon 10mm Commander bob tail model, but grew tired of waiting and picked up a Nighthawk Classic instead. Knowing me, I’ll still grab one if or when they release.

    I don’t shoot a lot of factory ammo, but one that surprised me was Sig V-Crown 180. It actually was a touch faster than Underwood 180 XTP, clocking an honest 1250 from a Glock 29, and 1340-ish out of my Nighthawk 1911 5″.
