[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3993657, member: 48072"] Yep, At one point (still might) Hornady had 10.1gr of 800-X listed as their max for the 180gr XTP. I tied 10.0gr for 10 rounds, and couldn't shoot it offhand any better (actually worse) than 8.7gr. Since my pistol is a 5" Wilson with standard barrel and bushing (and cost me way more than I ever intended to spend on a pistol), I've always just played it safe with that one. I did buy dad an original 610 no dash. Maybe I'll experiment with hotter loads in that gun one day when I get it back. FWIW I do know that for some reason Hodgdon actually stopped short of the max SAAMI pressure when they were publishing max load data for that particular combo. I actually got almost identical velocities though at 1,208 FPS average for five shots, vs. the 1,210 or whatever they listed. True handgun hunters would probably cringe at my "light" 10mm loads. But I have a few handfuls of .44 mags and a Freedom Arms .454 if I really want to test my flinch. [/QUOTE]
