    Be 86 and 200 grain herd cast 10mm

    Alliant reloading data does not list loads for 10mm 200 grain hard cast bullet.
    Yet I have heard so many using that very load without listing their data but very accurate.
    Any have any real world data?
    Thanks

    I started using BE-86 when looking for 45 ACP+P loads for a UZI it just would not run the load I found to be the best was 200 grain lee cast wheel weights and 7.3 grains BE-86 from a 16-inch barrel 1227 FPS and accurate.

    I have never loaded 10 MM I do think you are heading in the right direction. The people I know that shoot 10 mm are scared to death of cast bullets.

    Alliant does show a max load of 7.6 grains for a 190 grain JHP, so that's not too far off and should be a good reference point. I think based on that, if it were me I might start with 6.5 grains with a 200 grain cast bullet.

    It does matter though whether your gun has good chamber support, so you should verify that.
