I know my posting has been down, but it's down every where. Supplies are flowing and i am spending all my time running presses and making ammo.

Elite is coming out with a new 10mm load next month. Nickled Starline brass and a bullet I have wanted to use for a long time, 175gr WSTHP. This was the first bullet designed for 10mm velocities and still one of my favorites. I have not settled on a load yet but it will be smoking.



Beyond that I will post more. Usually I hit and run.

and ammo isn't cheap.

I like the idea of the planet killing 10mm, but the platforms for launching it are too limited.

I have been very dissapointed, I have posted several times and almost everyone I had very few responses. I not sure why that was. To add to this feeling I traded off my G20 to get a S&W .38 snub for the wife since she wants to get her CCW and she is not confortable with a semi auto. Well I had a couple simple questions about it. So I joined the S&W forum and posted my questions. Within 20 min. I had two responses within 12 hours I had nine, plus pic's and congrats on what I had. We need to make people feel confortable, quit the bickering, try and give honest answers and keep to their questions and not run a thread into the ground. I love my G29, carry it everytime I can. Some freinds I shoot with try to get me to switch to the allmighty .45 but, I love what this cartige can do. Please lets not kll this forum. I have gotten some good infromation, and some not so good. Ok I will now get off my soapbox, please keep this forum going I still need some questions answered. lol

On the contrary, I think a lot of guys are being exposed to 10mm by the merger. What hurts is that the guns are relatively expensive, there aren't that many of them, and ammo isn't cheap. Add all that up and mix in the current economy, and 10mm is a tough sell. Until you try it, that is.

Ammo is still expensive though.

I dont really buy the expensive ammo part. You can get a box of Remington UMC FMJ for about the same price as a box of .45ACP FMJ (both more expensive than 9-mm for sure).
With regard to the expensive guns, at least in the 1911s, the prices are about the same for Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, Nighthawk, etc.
As for popularity, what I cant figure out is that if the 10mm remains a specialty round, then why are manufacturers still making new 10s? And why are they trying to resurrect the Bren Ten?
If we could get the magazine writers and Guns and Ammo TV people to cover the 10, at least once in a while, things would surely pick up a lot more.

There really are no cheap 10mm guns, like ther are in other calibers. I and find 9mm and .45 and .38 used, and even new for under $300. Not so 10mm. I think that keeps people away. That and not even knowing a 10mm exists.

I guess I'll post up. I just started lurking, after picking up a Glock 20, 40 S&W bbl, AA 22 conversion kit and 4 mags.

I am a southpaw, got a bladetech holster and a few single mag pouches.

I have a few questions, but am trying to get a bit of reading done first. Don't want to waste anyone's time.

How about getting a link to the 10mm pic thread. I'll add to that.

Oh, I am gonna start reloading for it, as soon as I get the dies.

Thanks for a good forum. I hope I can contribute.

Welcome! Asking questions isn't a waste of anyone's time. How do you like your gun?
