Full Power 10mm Loads

BTW, the gun hasn't broken yet.
Just to clarify, I wasn't campaigning against it or rooting for it to break, just that I've read here & there of trouble. I'd love to see someone just throw all kinds of hell at them and prove it to be a rock-solid piece. The price, the looks, all of it together in that package and again, at that price? I want one. So I'd love to see them build a reputation opposite of the one that I've read.

3N37 in 10mm?
No,
But I can tell from my 40sw notes, that not much will fit:
Which is unusual, and maybe should be re done, as 3N37 is one of the few powders with enough speed-density product to get into trouble with 9mm.

4) 3N37 Vihtavuori load [current web site]: 3N37 6 gr., 988 fps, Speer
200 gr. TMJ, 1.126", 5.5"
9 gr. the OAL springs out to 1.158", 9 gr. is ok,

My 10mm from '89 to Present
Bought my 1st 10, a Colt Delta(blue), late 88. Only had Hornady ammo to go with and minimal loading data. Out of the box it could slam a gallon paint can @ 50 yds w/o fail. Started customizing it for IPSC in 90 and it ended up an Open gun with a Tasco PP4 and Clark full profile Recoil master comp. Of course it was obsolete compared to the new HiCap Supers but it made the challenge so much more fun! By the time I switched to Full Race Super in 98, it was shooting Nosler 135 Hp's with a better comp and new Holosight. Nosler 135s in a full 10 are in the warp drive range(Utilizing IMR SR-4756, the perfect all around powder).
As for EAA's, between my 10 and Eric Gold Open, the brand, I think is the greatest unsung gun made. Fragile? Must have some other problem going on. Haven't had problem with either full boogy 10mm loads in the one and race loads of 923 TJ in the other(both using the 4756 powder).
Did load EXTRA long 200g Hornady XTP bullets w/ AA-7 for revolver ONLY 6 1/2" 610 for deer. Worked like a charm.
