You can buy 200gr WFN from MBW and from a Gen4 Glock 23 with KKM barrel I can run the at 1150 fps, it's got a wide meplat and should hit pretty hard and it's a great sized package. From a longer...
I've got a GP100 44 Special, the 3" version and once had the 5" full lug. I think they're pretty strong, can easily handle level 3 loads. I've had the GP100 10mm and measured the cylinder wall...
Good points. I too have seen the videos and am a bit leery at the idea of an accidental double tap, which I keep wanting to tell myself that it's the shooters fault, but what if it's a mechanical...
Thanks for the replies. The more and more I dwell on it, the more I'm leaning towards the BFR. I did really look into the JRH and I have nothing against it, even heard they were selling the...
I have a question, I'm about to purchase my first .500 S&W and I'm torn on which to get. I've had a couple of S&W's over the years and I've owned 2 BFR's in 454. I know the twist rate of the BFR is...
The XTP Mag is a tough bullet and probably best used in longer barreled 454's where you can really push them, like the BFR. In my Toklat I've found the regular 300gr XTP to be great running at...
I've not messed around too much with AA9 but I've never had much luck with it, well by that I mean I don't get top velocity from it compared to say 800x or other such powders. Looking back over my...
The 19/23 size is awesome, but I have to ask why not just rely on the 23? I've loaded a bunch for both .40 and 10mm and check out these numbers of mine:
Stock Gen4 G29 10mm:
180gr Gold Dot,...
Yeah the 29 is close to the same height as the 26/27 and close to the same length of the 19/23 with the fatness of the 20/21. From my G23 with 4" KKM barrel I can run 180gr JHP to 1210 fps AVG,...
It would be a tough choice, I like single actions better than double but if I could only keep just one it would probably be my SRH Toklat

Nearly two year old thread, but I prefer the .40 since it's cheaper and more plentiful. I loaded for the 10mm for a long time and even played with long loaded .40 in a KKM.40 barrel in a G20 but...
The 10 is a solid cartridge, I've had them off and on for a long time but ultimately decided it's not doing anything the .40 or .45 isn't doing already. I can't really say anything bad about it...
I don't have much, but here's a little for the 10mm (Glock 20):
180gr PD FMJ, 7.8gr AutoComp @ 1.250": 1,176 fps avg
200gr Rainier RNFP, 7.0gr Auto Comp @ 1.250": 1,088 fps avg
200gr Missouri...
They're nice guns, I just picked up one too but in .41 Mag.

I've got two, 10mm and .45 Super. The .45 Super is a beast with a 250gr XTP @ 1300 fps!

There is some chrono numbers from the 7.5" and 10" version on MRI's website, and it doesn't look like the 10" gives much of a velocity increase. I'd opt for the 7.5" for that factor plus that extra...
Another option to consider is the .45 Super itself if you handload, you can load 460 Rowland level loads in .45 Super brass, plus since the brass is the same external dimensions as the ACP, you can...
Mid range 454's make a lot of sense, I like them because they're still very potent but not punishing. I haven't tried HS6 but I've got a lot of Longshot and it does well with mid-range loads too.
For JHP I like the 250gr XTP, it runs around 1200-1300 from my 5" G21 using .45 Super. For hardcast, Hunters Supply makes a 275gr hardcast that works great, run those to around 1200 fps or the 255gr...
Several years back I put together a 10mm longslide on my then G20SF. I had the threaded 6.6" barrel with comp on it too, got the slide refinished in black. It shot well, but it was heavy...real...
On my 5.5" stainless Bisley I sent both the ACP and Colt cylinder to get reamed correctly by CylinderSmith, then I ran a whole bunch of lapping boolits down the tube using Beartooths lapping Kit,...
I don't bother with the Rowland, but do load the .45 Super. About the only brass for the .45 Super is from Starline and according to them, it's as strong as 460 Rowland brass. My setup, a Gen4 G21...

I got to vote .41 Mag every time. I don't even have one yet, but will be buying a BH in .41 Mag before long. I've had a number of 10mm's including some 1911's, a handful of G20's and G29s and a S&W...
