8.5 gr. Power Pistol, WWLP primer
or 10 gr. Blue Dot, WWLP primer
I like the Power Pistol loads as they have much less flash than Blue Dot.

the 180 gr. XTP. The Hornady FACTORY load gave 1411 fps. !!!! I have yet to be able to get that high a velocity. Got some AA9 and we'll see. MY gun is a 14" Contender barrel with Choate extension and it is set up as a carbine. FUN to shoot!

Hobbie I played with my contender in 10 mm and got 1800 fps with a 180 before it started wrecking brass. Went through a Level II vest like butter. Contenders can take it. J.Michael
I was surprised to find that the 14" was no help in

increasing velocities AT ALL over a friend's Delta Elite. BUT it is a carbine.
1800 fps? It is easy to move 210 gr. out of the .41 Mag at 1800 in a 16" but I would like to see the loads you were using to get 1800 fps from 180 out of the 10mm. At first blush I would think you'd see frame stretch with those loads.

I just shot test load one or two to see what it could do. Had no intention of shooting them regularly. I got 1865 and blew primers brass was wrecked. I don't recall the load but I am sure 1500 could be used daily from a contender. J.Michael

About 13 gr AA9 around 1200 fps and about 10 gr Bluedot for same. Work up in your gun. YMMV
