Just curious if any of you have used 200 or 220 grain hard cast bullets and have had feeding problems? I have heard, but don't know the truth, that semi-autos are sensitive to COL when using wide meplat bullets. I am looking for a woods bullet with a wide meplat that will not cause feeding problems. | ||

Nothing wrong with traditional hard cast loads. I’ve been a little into the Lehigh Defense bullets lately for loads with max penetration/woods carry, & getting the most out of a handgun round. My loads have been 380 & 9mm, same principles would apply for the 10mm. Various places sell the bullets for reloading. The reviews are very good, my results have been the same. https://www.lehighdefense.com/...enetrator-ammunition | |||

I have some 200 gr RN flat points, from the NOE mold folks. The Hi-Tek coated slugs. With my chemo now, no energy to load, or shoot. Did shoot them in my 220, no idea load data, but no feeding issues. | |||

I've bought mine from Montana Cast Bullets for my DW Silverback and my XD 5.25. It's telling that a very good cast bullet company doesn't offer any 220 grain bullets. I've had very good results with their 200 grain WFN. | |||

That's what I was thinking. If I go with a 200 grain I suspect I won't have any problems. If I need more than a 200 grain I will just use a 45 Colt. | |||

I let out a Holy s..t when I saw that 10mm projectile. Didnt even begin to deform. Penetration yes but I bet a small wound channel. I think that round would be excellent on a angry bear head shot. | |||

SWCs that aren't seated deeply enough are an ongoing problem. I've seen it at least a dozen times with others at the range. They need to be seated fairly low in the case, where the shoulder is perhaps 1/16" above the case mouth. Some semiautos won't have a problem if it's seated higher, but a lot of them will have problems. | |||

What is the COAL when used with such SWCs that you speak of? | |||

It depends on the caliber and which SWC you're using. | |||
