Shooting kkm barrel in my glock, and my desert eagle 1911 10mm I believe has a fully supported chamber
Alliant reloading data does not list loads for 10mm 200 grain hard cast bullet.

The more I talk about it, and the more input I get I'm almost convinced it's a hardness issue. At least that's first on the list to change of the list of variables.if

I was going with the 5 grains because of all the literature I read about reproduction of military hard ball round sans the bullseye powder which seems to be scarce as hens teeth
