I ordered some 220gr bullets for 10mm and found that load data for this bullet weight is rather scarce. None of my manuals go higher than 205gr. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience loading this bullet weight in 10mm, particularly with Alliant 2400, which I currently have an abundance of.

Any Cal.

There isn't really anything out there, you kind of have to wing it. 2400 is really bulky for the application, you need Longshot, Blue Dot, or #9 to get very far. Beyond that, the faster powders are fine for plinking loads. You can extrapolate data from 200g jacketed, the start loads for those would make a decent Max.

Watch your brass carefully, you will see pressure signs in stock barels as you approach max pressures.
