Any 10mm reloaders?

[profjeremy]

I have a couple of 10mm guns and they're among my favorites to shoot. I was at the range a couple of weeks ago and the range officer asked me if I was going to pick up my brass. When I said no, he shrugged and said, "most people that shoot 10mm reload it, so they pick it up."

I don't have any plans to reload it, but I shoot enough 10mm that I wondered if anyone would be interested in buying my once-shot brass if I were to start picking it up. I shoot a lot of CCI Blazer and Magtech, if that makes a difference. Have some Sellier & Bellot also. I would probably want to make a little money from it, but would certainly would be very reasonable and not want much for it.

Anyway, just wondered if anyone would be interested, the range officer made it seem like I was the only weirdo that doesn't reload 10mm, lol.

10mm is a reloader’s dream, definitely save your brass as it has good resale value. 5-8 cents a case is a decent price for once fired depending on headstamp.

Oorrrrr.... save it and get into reloading ;-)

I sent you a pm.

Finding 10 mm brass at the range is like finding little nuggets of gold for me! I sent you a pm also.

hi, I'd send a pm but I can't. I am starting to reload and I could certainly use 10mm brass. I'm starting from nothing. It was not the best time to get into shooting a new caliber right now.

I know what you mean, I need 1/2+# of Accurate #7 powder to finish a batch I've been working on and it's now where to be found.

I've seen some around but you would have to call around to find it. The powders haven't dried up like the primers have. If you can't find 7 you should be able to find something else that works.

Well I was trying to find out if I could use Hercules 2400 powder but I haven't found any recipes yet.
And I have called every local store and checked online with no success.

I believe its Alliant powder now Alliant 2400 I am pretty sure is the same as Hercules 2400. Just double check/research it for yourself and safety. This is what I found in the Alliant data manual

180-gr Speer GDHP 2400 CCI 300 Hornady Brass COL: 1.250 Max Charge 12.8gr 1214 FPS

Just back off at least 10% from maximum listed charge to start.

Thank you for the Herc/Alliant info.

Another member contacted me and was willing to sell me a pound bottle of Accurate #7 that he had so I could
finish up my batch.

Thanks to all.

To be extra safe I'd go 15% lower to start. Hercules sold out to Alliant. If its identical it might be or it may be slightly different. Just use caution work your loads up from the low side.

I did some research and Alliant says they did not change the formula for the 2400 powder and I found a test that confirms it. So their one in the same.

That's good to know. Enjoy your reloading.

I shoot 10mm in a 1911 frame, and it's a really good combo for me, don't know about anyone else.
I got hooked on 10mm watching a guy knock down bowling pins and steel plates.
Good round if you don't want to carry "Super Duper Double Mag" but don't mind the recoil.
