new to 10mm questions.

Did you adjust the trigger any?

Yes I did. Its a very nice trigger for a stock pistol. I have not shot it yet hopefully tomorrow evening. The bullets I ordered came in yesterday. 180 and 200 gr. The dies and cases should show up tonight. I will try to load 50 180s tonight with 9grs of hs-6. It may not be the best powder but should give me a idea how the gun shoots. I also do want super stout loads right off the bat. Also I have 2#s of hs-6. So that way I can save my other powders.:)
Looks like I will need to look for some powerpistol. I have some blue dot and 2400 to try. I also have AA5-7-9 to try as well.

HS-6 will yield good range shooters under 180gn bullets. I run 8.4gns under a Berry's plated 180 - CCI 350 mag primer. 1064 fps through my G29 (3.7" bbl); & 1087 fps through my G20 (4.6" bbl). A good range shooter - it's about like a very-top-end 40 S&W round. I suppose there's room to pump it up a bit if you want. But for me, I like it where I have it; and so I never worked it up higher. Speer #14 tops out at 9.1gns.

Just an update on my Power pistol experience. Liked it much better than the Unique and the Red Dot was accurate but the Recoil seemed like till I hit the max loads.

The Power Pistol is accurate as I could want and the recoil was good enough on the low end (7.3gr) and felt like a medium powdered 40 load. The 7.6 gr seemed like a light 10mm or heavy 40 load and the 7.9 gr load was like a stock 10mm in recoil but a good bit of flash to go with boom. I only loaded to there and not to max (8.1-8.2gr) Best accuracy was with the 7.9gr for me YMMV.

Note on bullet:
175gr cast and powder coated TC (LEE # 90433) seated to 1.265" COAL
 
Just some Chorno results that I have experienced out of a 1911:
180gr Hornady XTP 13.5gr AA#9 @ 1220FPS.
200gr Hornady XTP 12.1gr AA#9 @ 1120FPS.
165gr Sierra 14.2gr AA#9 @ 1300FPS.
180gr Rainier plated 7.8gr Power Pistol @ 1130FPS.
180gr Rainier plated 7.0gr Power Pistol @ 1000FPS.
