Id sure like a 150-175 grain round nose 10mm bullet. Id be good for 4 of them to get the ball rolling.

LLoyd, try Steve fotou at victory molds. He can cut whatever you want. His molds are some of the best, but not cheap. WWW.victorymolds.com

I bought one of Lee's 6 cavity 175 TC molds. I know it is not the RN but it feeds very well in my Glock and Ruger .40 S&Ws. The price is right since it is a stock item. I don't think the TC shape would be a handicap for the speed loader, but since I don't shoot that model your guess would be a better one. For what it is worth.

I have a 175 LEE TC mold, one shortcoming it has is that the grease groove is too wide/shallow to hold lube well. I would drop it on ebay like a bad habit and buy a group buy better design as long as it had some meplet, I have a client that wanted to buy 10mm cast bullets. I want a 10mm one of these days myself.

I can send anybody interested in that general shape some samples if they would like.

Willbird,

Thanks for adding that comment about the lube groove. That did not occur to me as I tumble lube mine and have not had any problems. But I am probably shooting them at less velocity than the 10mm cartridge does.

thats the bullet im shooting now in it. It has been the most accurate bullet ive found so far but it still leaves something to be desired using moon clips. Ill check out the link on the molds thanks.

Lloyd - I use the Lee 175 TC bullet in my AMT 7" 10MM Auto and it is fine. Do not have any leading with my near-max loads. Seems to hold enough lube for my use.
