I picked up a G20 back in the fall and some bargain Armscor 180gr factory ammo. I have a crapload (6lbs) of Blue Dot from previous 357 and 44 mag reloading. Not gonna be buying new powder for this cartridge.
I'm loading 180gr Montana Gold FMJ for practice and 200 gr MG FMJ for hunting hog and maybe deer, as a backup pistol.
The 180gr. Armscor chronos at 1131fps 27 SD, my Blue Dot tests are below.
Oehler 35P chrony
200gr FMJ 9.0gr Bluedot, 989 fps, 18 SD.
180gr FMJ 10.0gr Bluedot, 1077fps, 27 SD.
180gr FMJ 9.5gr Bluedot, 1063fps, 43 SD.
Brass is new Starline, Primers WLP.
My goals are a moderate 180gr practice load at around 1100fps and a stout but not Godzilla 200gr load around 1100fps.
Anybody have a favorite 10mm Blue Dot load?
