    That's how you know you have an addiction. Loading for aomething you dont own!
    Right!

    Honestly, I've passed on a lot of pistols because I "didn't want to have to buy more ammo..." So along the way I've squired dies for several calibers I don't own but am interested in. I've loaded up a little of each so if the right deal comes along I don't have to worry about ammo.

    Just remember, you got me into reloading!

    If you’re gonna own and shoot a 10mm, reloading is a must. Most factory ammo isn’t any hotter than .40, unless you get some Underwood or Buffalo Bore.

    Do you have a bullet recommendation for a good bullet suitable for a Glock 20? Using new brass. Don’t want any brass bulge.

    I’ve never had any issues using the 180 grain Hornady XTP bullets. Wideners sometimes has good deals if you just want a FMJ plinking round.

    Sig 10 mm ammo is pretty hot too, and much cheaper than either of those.

    XTP’s are my favorite projectiles for all the pistol rounds I reload. They also work really well out of my 357 and 44 mag lever actions.

    Forgot about Sig. Cheaper AND easier to find than Underwood and Buffalo Bore. XTP’s are definitely my #1 choice for pistol projectiles. 90% of my 10mm and 44 mag loads use them, so luckily I have quite a few boxes stashed away! I actually found a couple boxes of their 147 grain 9mm bullets a couple weeks ago. I hadn’t seen them on the shelf in over a year, so I grabbed them. Never really wanted to use hand loaded ammo in my EDC, but the critical defense (which uses the XTP’s) I carry is hard to find, and I only have a few more boxes left.

    Not me actually doing it but my actions are showing it.

    I have 10 rounds loaded for testing but I want to make the 25 minute trip to the range worth it but it don’t want to just blast ammo either with no replacement primers in sight.

    I guess I’ll just continue cleaning up the pile of 45acp brass I’ve shot since 1989!
