    I use .401" sizing, hard alloys, and soft lubes (Javelina, mostly) in my S&W 10mm and Beretta 40 Short & Weak. The 1-10" twist rates in some 40 S&W pistols can complicate cast boolit shooting just like the 9mm's. My M-1026 has 1-16", which seems to be the "majority" twist rate in the 10mm's. This is an unusual pitch for S&W handguns, and is more often seen in Colt products.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
