Boolits for 10mm

[Duckhunter]

I just came by a S&W 610 at great expense. It is equipped with the Loupold M8 scope and has a 6" barrel. Now I need to get some molds so I can save enough on boolits to shoot it from time to time. Does anyone know of or can recommend a 10mm bullet mold along the lines of the Ranch Dog boolits for this 10mm/40S&W in the 180 to 200 grain weight? I have one of the Ranch Dog molds that drops a 358 boolit at about 190 grains. Something on that order is what I am looking to purchase.

A Lee 175 conventional lube is cheap and should weigh in close to 178 gr. It is a close copy of the Lyman 401043.

I shoot the Lee 6 cavity 401-175-TC. Once Powder coated I end up at 179-180gr. Shoot it in a Glock 20 and a MechTech carbine.

I use the Lee 6 cavity 401-175-TC and use them in my G40, RIA, XDM & M&P with great accuracy. I use a custom 10mm (WFN 200 gr) of my own design.

There's a thread that I made about it sometime ago.

There's data on Alliant's site for a 180 gr. JHP and Blue Dot that develops just under 1300 f/s in a 5" (unvented?) barrel. Since that velocity is near where bullet hardness must be watched to avoid leading, perhaps a 200 gr. cast SWC or TC could be launched from your revolver's 6" barrel just enough more slowly that leading would be less of a concern.
If you sacrifice 5% velocity for the sake of minimizing leading, but launch a 10% heavier projectile, it's a net win on paper, and very likely in practice.

Im using that mold in both a long and short slide 10mm and a 40cal with good results but im leaning toward a little heavier for the 10mm maybe 200gr

I shoot my 610 quite a bit and mine seems to like the heavier bullets. It shoots best with the LBT 220 gr. WFN but I also shoot the NOE 403-198-WFN-Y1 more because I have a 5-cavity version. The NOE bullet has become my "standard" shooting bullet because I came cast up larger quantities more quickly than a 2 cavity.

Here is a pic of the NOE bullet. The designation has been changed (i have had mine for a few years) but it is the same thing.

And a bunch of them in moon clips with the 610
