10mm bullet reloading question

[Jeff Wilson]

Friend gave me some hornady 10mm 200gr
bullets and want to reload them in my 40 cal brass what would be a good powder load for that also would my 40 cal dies work. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Your loading these in .40 S&W or in a 10MM? These bullets will work with either cartridge, but if the dies are set up for .40 S&W the expander and seater dies will have to be re-adjusted to work with the 10MM cases. For .40 S&W Alliant Unique and Power Pistol also Hodgdon Longshot are good choices. For the 10MM Hodgdon Longshot, Alliant Blue Dot and 2400, Accurate #7 and #9 are good choices.

I will be using 40 cal cases and 40 cal lee s&w dies. Thanks for your help

Twicepop called it out before me. Depending on barrel length I love the Accurate powders in #9 #7 great for 10mm. I only shoot bullets in the 180 class.

Google 40 S&W load data if you don't have a manual. If the bullets were free I would shoot them but in 40 S&W I would run 150-180 class Bullets for extra velocity. 200 gr is a little heavy in the 40. They work great in the 10 mm.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^There is a minor difference right.

You might find it difficult driving that heavy a round in the 40 and the recoil will be brutal.

Get yourself a case gauge to check your reloads to stay on the safe side and stick to the published loading manuals. Pistol is a different animal to load for.

Hodgdon Titegroup works well in 40S&W...
