I worked up another batch of reloads for my XDM OSP Elite 3.8" 10mm using 190 grain RCBS cast boolits, 200 grain Hornady XTPs, and 200 grain Speer Gold Dots.
All loads used Accurate #9. I was able to get my hands on another three pounds of it and it is my favorite powder for 10mm.
Took all 9 different loads to the range and did an extensive video in which I recorded every shot on video and through my chronograph...
All bullets were able to achieve my personal benchmark of accuracy for a defensive carry pistol; 2" or less 5-shot groups at 25 yards using a rest with acceptable defensive loads.
Then I got to the loads using the 200 grain Speer Gold Dots and was amazed at the accuracy. All loads achieved the benchmark, with the full power max load delivering a 3/4" group.
Pretty sure it is the tightest group I have ever gotten at 25 yards with a defensive pistol shooting full-power loads.

Has anyone else gotten a smaller group than that with a carry pistol?
