    Where the hell is the range report?!?!?!?
    I just got done cleaning all the weird sticky oil out of it. It was almost like melted cosmoline. Had to use brake parts cleaner to cut it. Then I decided since I was cleaning guns I clean all the rest.

    Ok, range report time. This is a heavy gun. Empty weight is 2.9 pounds. When you add 17 rounds, I need suspenders to hold my pants up. My supply of 10mm was extremely limited:

    The gun hates the S&B, did alright with the Magtech, and it loves the critical duty. After about 50 rounds the Magtech would run fine. After about 100 rounds the S&B was ok. The Critical duty never had any issues. This gun is very tight, and has an extremely stiff recoil spring. I believe once I locate some better and hotter ammo, and run a couple hundred more rounds through it, I should have all the bugs worked out.

    On a side note, this thing can throw brass further than anything I’ve ever shot. Including the HK91. And @vmax didn’t want any stray 10mm brass left behind.

    10mm, in the form of a Colt Delta Elite was the reason I got into reloading.

    In 2005 I was working near Carlsbad, Nm, and had just gotten the Delta. Bought 3 boxes of (don't remember which brand) of shells here in Angelo before leaving for the job. First night on the job we were on standby, so we went rabbit hunting and went through all 150 rounds.

    Carlsbad's Walmart didn't have any 10mm, but the pawn shop in town had 10mm ammo, for $48.99 a box, and a used Dillon 550 set up for 40/10mm... for the price of 6 boxes of ammo.

    I bought the 550 and 2lbs of Blue Dot and about 400 200gr pills and 1000 primers for another $100.


    I don't think there is another pistol round that is as versatile as the 10mm when it comes to load development. You can load it all the way up to to CRAZY, more power than a .357, or all the way down to powder puff, soft as a lightly loaded 9mm. The length of the case makes them one of the easiest rounds to reliably feed in all manner of 1911s/2011s, and the availability of .40 pills makes it easy to tailor to one's preferred application.
