10mm carbine reloading
- Thread starter MiniMe
- Start date
Load the same as you would for pistol. I found the ASR chamber to be very tight, in a good way. Loads that showed case head expansion in my pistols showed almost none in the ASR. Despite what I consider a very flawed gun it handles 10mm very well.

Same loading here... GREAT power.
Use published data for any 165 fmj/jhp and work up a load for yourself. If it's the Campro 165 you have they have data on their website. Keep in mind it is just plagiarized from other sources like Hodgdon and different manuals. Also be aware you may be able to push a plated 165grn bullet fast enough to begin stripping the plating which could lead to many other serious issues.
Resurrecting this threat...
I got this info from CAMPRO for 10mm handloading:
Cam Pro cal 40-165gr
HS-6: 9.3gr - 10.4gr
Titegroup: 5.6gr - 6.3gr
CFE Pistol: 7.2gr - 8.0gr
Longshot: 9.0gr - 9.8gr
Blue Dot: 10.3gr - 11.5gr
Load used: 10.7gr of Bluedot. Shows less sign of pressure than factory ammo.
I'm shooting this out of a TNW carbine, and something weird is happening with my reloads that don't happen with factory ammo.
The TNW has ejection ports on both sides, so when I shoot my reloads, I get a small hot spray in my face. It is not like hot gases, but similar to hot oil. Very little, but annoying.
What am I doing wrong?
Tks!

Nothing, it's just one of the many flaws of the gun. I asked TNW if they had plans for any sort of cover and they said no. Keep in mind that was about 4 years ago. I have some 200grn JHP loaded with 13.2 grains of AA9 (ball powder). Shooting them was so distracting I just didn't bother. Hot, painful blast of half burnt powder every time you pulled the trigger...

Forget the mans name at Hi Cal. He claimed 2200ft/sec from a ASR 10mm. Cast would need gas checks, but man that would be sweet for a truck gun. The local baby blacktail....65lbs on the hooks....now we just need to survive Oct 21.
I was able to get very slightly over 2200fps with 135grn JHPs. Absolutely shreds water jugs since the bullet is being driven so far beyond it's designed velocity that it acts like a varmint bullet.

Campro makes a very nice 155 grain plated 40/10mm bullet. I echo the advice on the first page of just use the same load for your pistol.
For example: 4.0-4.5 grains of WST using the Campro 155 bullet in a 40 S&W case would work fine in most .40 handguns & Beretta’s .40 caliber PC Storm carbine.

Do some research into the initial loadings for 10mm when it came on scene. The 10mm was waaaay hotter then than it is now.... research ( and due caution) of course would allow you to replicate those loads (800X powder is often preferred) and take further advantage of the additional support offered by a carbine barrel as opposed to a (possibly) unsupported pistol barrel. The 10mm loadings when first on scene were more powerful than a .357Mag.
The dumbing down of the load due to commercial buyers like the FBI complaining of too much recoil have rendered it to a little stronger than .40S&W.
The 10mm is a great cartridge and offers a lot of potential if you are willing to invest the time and effort into developing a stronger load for your application / firearm.
