Found a good load for 135gr Nosler 10mm jhp

[IdahoG36]

Awhile back, I purchased 1000 135gr Nosler jhp bullets for $110. I like this weight for SD/HD use in 10mm, and heavier stuff for carry in the woods.

I used Western Powders reloading guide for this load, using Ramshot Silhouette powder.

I started at 10gr (min is 9.9gr), and worked up to max of 11gr in .2gr increments. I did not have a chronograph at the time, but saw no signs of pressure at all.

I loaded these to the following- 11gr Ramshot Silhouette, 1.260" COL, primer- WLP, new Jagemann 10mm brass.

Chronograph data- 81*F
Sig P220 Elite stainless 10mm 5" barrel

135gr Nosler jhp
1-1463 fps 2-1483 fps 3-1489 fps 4-1483 fps 5-1484 fps. Five shot average velocity was 1480 fps. High-1489 fps, Low-1463 fps. ES-26, SD-10

Glock 20 SF w/ LW 6" barrel

135gr Nosler jhp
1-1543 fps 2-1523 fps 3-1539 fps 4-1530 fps 5-1537 fps. Five shot average velocity was 1534 fps. High-1543 fps, Low-1523 fps. ES-20, SD-7

Sounds like you found a great load.
I don't currently load the light bullets for my 10mm. I generally load 180 FMTJ bullets over a close to max load of Power Pistol. Seems to be as close to too much as I can get it. No Chrony so no speed tests.
But my Fusion CMDR length 1911 likes 'em.

I have 2lbs of Power Pistol and 300 Speer 165gr Gold Dot bullets. That will be my next load development.

I've never loaded the Nosler 135 gr JHP bullet in 10MM but I sure used a lot of them in the 40 S&W cartridge.

When I was competing and developed the All Sport Forty race gun I had three different loads for the gun all using Nosler 135 gr JHP on top of N350 powder.

My hottest load was my pin load making a 210 power factor moving that 135 gr bullet 1560 FPS.
