Glock 20 and Brown Bear

[AKGuide]

Doubletap 200 grainers are a good bullet as well. If you roll your own the 200 grain WFNGC from beartooth bullets is the best bullet hands down for the 10mm. Get ready to wait a few months for your order though as they cast them to fill your order. Load either to 1200-1250fps with either longshot or blue dot and you have some bad bear medicine that is accurate as well. Longshot has a smaller fireball than blue dot if you need less flash.

For hunting I use my 7.5" 454 Casull with 360WLNGC @ 1500fps but use the G20 for defense when I'm not carrying my guide gun in 416RUM.

I have lots of Longshot. I have some 350 gr. Beartooth's for 460 and I forget weight of others. One is gas checked. Haven't used in years. I might be wrong on weight. Both are 300 plus grains.

If it's for your 460 I wouldn't be surprised if it's their 340LFNGC. It's their most accurate bullet they make for the big 45's. I will switch to these once my supply of cast performance 360's is done.

I'll check this morning. I have some loaded up but never tested. I have a box of 20 Buffalo Bore that I bought in 2017. Never shot one of them I forget their weight also...

These are what I found.

I don't think I'd use the HSM 250 gr. Hardcast in my 460. Maybe 454 but I'd prefer a gas check. May be good in a hot 45 Colt load ?

Anyone have any experience with Swift 200 grain A-Frame in 10mm?

No might be hard to get
But if the perform like the A frames in my rifles it should be excellet in the 10mm. The Federal load is kinda on the soft side as for velocity.

See…this right here is why these forums are a danger to my wallet. It re-enforces why I need a g20 when I know I don't really need one and can really do without one but have been drooling over one for quite some time.

They just released a Gen 5.... perfect timing to get one.

It's what I carry. They are crazy spendy in both component and loaded. I've not shot any game with them but have other a frames, from that experience I've confidence in them.

 

[tknuts103]

This is what I carry too but mainly because it shoots flawlessly in my G20 and underwood recommends it over their hardcasts for bear protection. I have tried kkm barrel, every recoil and magazine spring weight you can think of, plus keeping it factory, 200 underwood, 220 underwood, 220 buffalo bore and still get a malfunction every now and then. I have shot hundreds of extreme penetrators and not a single malfunction. I think most people buy a couple boxes of hardcast and if they can shoot a box without a malfunction call it good but I can't do that. I have to shoot at least a couple hundred without a single problem before I will trust my life with it.

Speaking of 10mm and penetration, I think many have seen this, but... perhaps a few haven't, it's interesting and adds a little something to the conversation, it's the round that I carry most of the time in

Are you guys using aftermarket 6" barrels in your G20's for these bear loads?

 

[30378wbymag]

I have a Springfield XDm10 4.5 OSP and a Tucker Gun Leather DC4 hybrid chest holster. The holster is a work of art. The hybrid part is that it is Leather covered kydex.View attachment 409620View attachment 409621

I have the same pistol, gonna look REAL hard at that rig, I hope they make it in south hand!!!

If you hunt here, carry a pistol . Preferably one with some punch. I carry Glock 20 , not my Springfield XDM 10mm though just because of the grip safety. Also Glock 20 is more accurate with same ammo. I thought about carrying my 460 S&W or 454 Cassul but too heavy and barrels too long. I'd definitely wrather have those 2 cartridges though. My other choice was a Super Blackhawk 44 mag. It's not heavy to me but it does have a 7.5 in. barrel. I'd need to get a shoulder holster for it. I use a Gunfighter for the Glock 20. I like it.

Good choice G20 very popular here in Alaska.
My G20 makes my 3rd one since Glock introduced the 10mm. Suggest Underwood Hardcast 200/220gr their velocity is accurate in 5" so it will be alittle less in G20. Most 220gr coated Hardcast are 213gr by weight without gas check. I prefer the 220gr (213gr) weight.
Do you reload the 10mm ?
I do moose hunt mostly alone so at night and after a kill my head is on a swivel and the G20 on my chest and 12Ga comes out with Breneke Original slugs and rifle gets cased while quartering .

Has anyone tried these. I picked them up years ago but never shot them.
