CFE Pistol meters really well. Looks like you have several options to look for. Finding what you want for reasonable price is the real issue.

Or at ANY price, really...

Yea, I guess "Glock Face" might be a reincarnation of the old "Super Face". LOL

Yeah, I like my 10mm to shoot like a 10mm not a .40 S&W and the Glock smile is something I avoid. Cheers

I have been trying to find Blue Dot or AA#9 for months now. I see CFE Pistol a lot at my LGS so I may have to go in that direction.

Midwayusa has it right now and I think I saw Powder Valley having it also.

Accurate Powders is a company that definitely lives up to its name. The complete line of smokeless powders for handguns, rifles, and shotguns is...

Thank you all for the recommendations. I found a couple pounds of #9 locally. I will start there. I didn't realize this many people on here shot 10mm. Since y'all have shared so much I will as well. I have a Glock 40 MOS with a Trijicon RMR on it. It will mainly be carried while trekking through the woods for defense or whatever need may arise (I will continue to use factory ammo for that.) The pistol is currently stock, but I plan to upgrade the barrel shortly. Haven't done any research of recoil springs. But several have mentioned it. Again thank you all for the info. It's greatly appreciated.

With 10mm 200gn bullets, 7.3 gn CFE pistol and 9. gn Longshot work well for me in my 1911. Slightly warm, but comfortable.

If you think its a short cased .41mag Blue Dot is your Huckleberry. That's all I load in a 10MM anymore anyway. That's also where I found accuracy. Loads in the old Speer manual are quite over max today. Guess pistols were stronger in the old days. That's where all the accuracy was with mine with 180's in a 6" 1911. YMMV but use every caution working up just like an other cartridge.

This ^^^^^

Glad you found some number 9 I think you'll like it in your 10 My vote would go to either the AA9 or longshot for all around use, and titegroup or power pistol for paper or small game loads.
If you have been loading for rifle then you should be able to just slide right into loading for a pistol there will be a few learning curves but as far as load work up i dont do much different from rifle still get the chronograph out and work up until i get good low e.s & s.d. numbers that are accompanied by small groups usually at 25 yds. to start.
Make sure your die set has a taper crimp die and spend some time learning how to set it up and use it correctly so your cases will headspace correctly in the chamber of your pistol this is critical on rimless cases such as 9,10,40 & 45. And should be done as a separate step.

I totally agree with crimping pistol in a separate step. This helps immensely when using non-jacketed bullets like copper-plated or hard cast bullets. I've noticed when using those "softer" types of bullets you have a much higher chance of mucking the bullet up during crimp, it's still possible with jacketed but not as much. I like to use a lee factory crimp die to smooth any of that out or typically I'll just use an RCBS seat die with the seat stem removed and a separate seating die.

Mark me down for another team blue dot. It has worked well in my Glock 20 factory barrel. Looking to up grade barrels and start shooting some hand cast lead.
