10 mm with HS-7

[red442joe]

Hello all,
I'm looking for favorite loads with hs-7 in 10mm. I have some data inbound by snail-mail from Hodgdons, but wanted to hear from others that have used hs-7.

I plan to use the Lee TL401-175-SWC and maybe some FLGC's for the hotter loads through my Star Megastar 10. I'd like to work up something fun for the range to go with the Auto Mag (45 Win Mag, 230gr XTP, 27.5gr H110, getting 1580-1600fps)

Looking around the web seems hs-7 was popular in the 10mm before it was discontinued. I didn't find what people switched to afterwards.

Thanks,
Joe

Seems like all the powder companies have good on-line reloading data for their current powders. My two favorites for the 10mm are Longshot for the heavier loads (I can hit about 1250 fps with 180s and 1150 fps with 200s, both with J-words and out of a 4.25 inch S&W 1076 barrel) and Universal for the medium range loads. Power Pistol and #9 are also good choices for heavy loads. Unique and other similar powders (HS-6?) should work well for mid-range. Looking forward to getting the Delta Elite back from the Colt Custom Shop and doing some chrono work with that 5" barrel.

I'm with Sven using Longshot. At 8gr Longshot with a 200gr XTP I'm running 1100fps out of my Glock 20.

I also use 231 for the medium loads.

Hodgdon had their load data online, so I'd look there for current info.

I'm not much help with the HS-7. Sorry.
