I found a very good load for the Rock Island 1911 10mm, but it's not quit what I want. The load is with blue dot and Hornady 155 gr HP There shooting about 2.5" at 30 yards. I have not checked the speed but the book is like 1400. What I would like is a cast bullet load. The cast powder coated I have tried have not shown a good group. 175 hard cast, powder coat and a gas check. We have tried several powders, and speeds. We have yet to check them with out the check. I have a bunch of test load to try powder coated with out a check and some just lubed with a check. My colt shoots just lubed and checked better the the PC ones. More testing to come.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Lyman recommends 6.5 of Bullseye, as the most accurate. I load pistols for max accuracy, velocity is secondary for me. placing good hits is more important to me in hunting critters.

Blue dot makes for a very magnum load for sure. When I was testing the 155 the lowest/ slowest load was the most accurate that's the one I'm using, the recoil on the next 3 loads up we tried was WAY to much to have fun with, and not good groups. I do know all the blue dot loads throw the brass in to the next county and have great fire blast. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

I've never loaded for or had a 10mm. I have used Blue Dot for heavy shotgun loads and have a couple pounds of it. I tried it in .357 Magnum and I don't remember why but I didn't keep using it. My favorite pistol powders have always been Unique and Bullseye. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
