I'm looking for a good powder for 10mm (165-180) and 357mag (140-158). Medium velocity. I'm thinking of HS-6 or AA#5 or AA#7.

Got any suggestions?

I reload both and use AA-No 7 for the 10mm.  Just a side note abot using blue dot with 125 grain bullets and 41 mags.

Safety Notice

At Alliant Powder, we take safety seriously. That’s
why we periodically test our products in different situations to be sure
our use recommendations stay current. Check here for any safety notes
or recall information. Stay safe and keep accurate.

Alliant Powder periodically reviews and tests their
published reloading data to verify that our recommended recipes have not
changed over time.

During the latest review Alliant Powder discovered that Alliant
Powder's Blue Dot® should not be used in the following applications:

  • Blue Dot® should NOT
    be used in the 357 Magnum load using the 125 grain projectile (Blue
    Dot® recipes with heavier bullet weights as specified in Alliant
    Powders Reloading Guide are acceptable for use).
  • Blue Dot® should NOT be used in the 41 Magnum cartridge (all bullet weights).

Use of Blue Dot® in the above cases may cause a high
pressure situation that could cause property damage and serious personal
injury.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

A lot of books show loads still.

I use    http://www.handloads.com/    for a lot of loads.

HP-38 or 700X are hard to beat in the 357, for those bullet weights.

 

Not sure if they work well in 10MM though.  I guess thats half a recommendation.

I do not relaod myself.... I always find somebody who REALLY can do it. My current guy grinds out about a million loads a year ( well someone told me that), he has bench after bench of handloaders set up for each caliber. Anywya he wanted me to buy Hodgdon TiteGroup for my .38 with 158gr SWC target loads. To me its pretty dirty, and it "pops" more then my old bullseye.

Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box

in that order.

Hmm, Blue Dot sounds a little touchy for my tastes.

HP-38 and 700x look like they will be a little fast for the 10mm.

I use Tightgroup in the 45 and was going to try it for 38+p plinking loads in the 357.

 

Thanks

700X and Tightgroup feed my .357, and although not exactly 10mm, my 40S&Ws digest Tightgoup as well.

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
