Somehow after over a decade of doong things this way. I'm totally fine. Gun is functioning fine too. 🙂

@@letstalkcaliber704 I'm very glad your fine and hope you remain that why because after a bad accident it would be fun anymore.

Definitely need a heavier recoil spring, 22-24lbs probably. I use a 22lb with 165 gr HP, and 6" Lone Wolf barrel.

@@tomlee6263 Man don't think I can find one for my Compact Steel Witness, heaviest is 20lbs. Maybe Wolf Spring's main site but will have to dig.

@@saintsinningsword I see what your saying, but I'm running a Glock 20, not sure what you need for yours... maybe there more info on TH-cam about what spring is best for your pistol.

@@tomlee6263 Found 22lbs springs and ordering soon. Now just wanting 220gr +p+ stupid loads but I guess you have to load those yourself. Wished they made Desert Eagles in 10MM or 10MM Magnum.

@@saintsinningsword just remember that with a heavier recoil spring, your pistol may not function good with lower powered factory ammunition...

I've move on the rachet straps. They've worked much better.

Extreme spread? I was expecting 1596 and got 1650. The max fps of the original test was 1618 only 32 fps slower. Consider I used different brass and the environment conditions were considerably different it's not that alarming. Misspoke in the video saying I was expecting ~1500 fps. I was much less surprised when taking a second look at my books. You shoot guns I shoot guns I'm not your enemy. I hope you're having a better day than when you wrote those comments. Cheers.

Absolutely true. Considering most 10mm is glorified 40s&w I don't see any harm in adding the moniker even if there is no SAAMI specification.

​@letstalkcaliber704 I don't either my friend. Just wasn't sure if it was a *wink wink* situation or a mistake. Great video by the way!

6" KKM barrel.

Not sure what 12-12.5 was referring too? Can you link to what you were looking at. It's hard to really determine pressure without equipment but looking at hodgdonreloading.com they list 9.8 gr of 800x at 30k psi with a 155gr xtp. My load was 10.8 gr. Max saami pressure in 37,500 psi. So not really sure if I'm hitting that or if I'm over but the cases are taking the pressure. If I continue to increase the powder load you should see the velocities drop slightly as the case starts to rupture and deform. Then if I don't notice that and keep going you'd see case failure. So since I'm not having too crazy of pressure signs I think I'm not to far past max pressure if not under it. Then again there's guys shooting 9mm major out of standard 9mms and nothing is blowing up and that's like 44k psi so who really knows.

@@letstalkcaliber704 i'm using QUICKLOAD to try to determine what the PSI could have been with a similar powder to 800x since quickload doesn't have it. i used longshot because it has a similar ratio of powder:fps according to hodgdon (their longshot loads on their site are all fucked up, ignore them!) i think it's probably pretty over pressure, but that many cases can handle it. i load 7.62x38r for my nagant m1895 and load 3-4x over SAAMI spec without any significant case bulging to date, even in my super overpressured round (eq. to 500 ftlb LMAO oops!!) that locked up the entire action and required me to use a hammer and mosin nagant cleaning rod to unstick it (saami spec for 7.62x38r isn't public, but since fiocchi and ppu both load the same fps and grainage it can be assumed SAAMI is around 11k, therefore cases designed for 11k) it's just a guess, but i think it's pretty overpressure. i load 10 with longshot, i've gotten to 10 as hodgdon for 180gr xtp suggested that at max and i started to see less gain, but 10gr longshot is pretty overpressure. yours could be only marginally overpressure, i'm not a scientist but that load is approaching ".40 super" levels of hot and the PSI for 40 super is significantly higher than 10. the point being, it's almost certainly overpressure. if quickload had 800x it'd be easy for us plebs to confirm, but ol boy never added it :(... as well, you have an aftermarket barrel which probably makes it a lot more tolerable vs commercial glock barrels which are notoriously bad for reloads. just a guess! i don't know, could be wrong but i jus want ppl to be safe :D

Well if you were going to shoot an elephant it be good to have that penetration and the 40 ball round does that better than the 10mm hp's but you could just as well use a 10mm ball round and be even more effective. Generally if we're not getting over the 2100 fps needed to cause hydrostatic shock you want to choose something that expands the most while still penetrating deeply enough. In that same line of thought some folks recommend ball rounds in 380 for self defense because of its weak penetration.

Indeed it is.

I got plans in the works. Probably be releasing some powder and bullet comparisons next months. All 10mm related.

Did I not say it in the video? 800x 9.6 gr. Winchester large magnum pistol primers. I developed the load after reading many forums and reloading manuals.

@@letstalkcaliber704 Thanks for the response I heard you say 800x but I had no idea what that was... I do all the old-school powders because I'm old school... 😆... The reason I questioned the velocities is that they are so high... I just ordered my first 10 mm and it is a caliber I have never reloaded for in the past.. Thank you

@@andrewduis1881 no worries. If you have some blue dot laying around it's also pretty excellent in 10mm especially with the larger 180 and 200gr pills. Im using 6in barrel so my velocity's are a little higher than the manuals.

@@letstalkcaliber704 I'm looking at using unique gunpowder... If I need to purchase a different powder I will I've had this donated to me for my father when he passed away about 3 lbs worth... Have to look things over and evaluate whether it's worth buying a newer powder... Either way I'm looking forward to the adventure... Thanks for being a friend and helping me with this new caliber.... Blessing to you and I appreciate your video and wisdom...

Are you in nc/sc area

Ya it's pretty bad. Finally getting around to cleaning it off. Just had build some cabinets so I could get everything sorted.

800-x. Apparently they don't make it anymore but you can use longshot and blue dot to do similar things.

Ya thinking so. really curious what some 165 gr hollowpoints will do if I can every get some.

Only for bear. The 155xtp is the juice for 2 legged vermin control.

I've definitely found 800x to be magical. It sucks that they've discontinued it because anything I share using 800x is irrelevant for you guys. Only really is valuable for seeing what the bullets do at those velocities. If I remember Blue dot is slower burning so it should be a good substitute with the 200+ gr pills. The others you mentioned are decent but I'm not sure if they're a good substitute or not. I have some blue dot and longshot so I'll start to throw some lead and share my results.

800x was definitely the best juice for 10mm. I used to load the crap out of it. You could push some serious velocities in the 200 grain bullets without showing any pressure signs. It was magical powder. Metered like shit but an exceptional powder. Shame they don’t make it anymore. Longshot would be best for heavy loads. AA9 is best for lighter loads.

@@mikerobinson8734 I finally found some 800x at a pawn shop that had like 10 1lbs cans of it.

I like it too! Great powder for 44 magnum, 40 s&w, and 10 mm.

17g lil gun with an 180g xtp is matching or beating that 1400 fps. some of the most energetic rounds ive fired.

Gold dots blow up if you push them too hard.

Velocity is wicked hey fbi now we know you guys can never shoot 10mm it's a beast

I was gonna say longshot but it comes in at about 1350fps at 35k psi so your CFE beats it by a little. CFE is probably a good start if you can get it. Now that 800x is out of the picture I guess I need to find a new powder and redo this video.

I’m tryin to get max from the 200gr xtp’s through my 6” trp and started at 5grs cfe and primers too flat…7.7gr was far as I could go with the 155gr Lehigh…no chronograph yet so pressure signs is bout all I got to go off of..

Give Power Pistol a try, you won’t regret it. And you probably won’t look back, either!
