I haven't done it yet, but I suspect I'll have a 10mm in the stable here shortly. As I'm looking at getting setup for reloading, I have to decide on which way to go re: dies.
Is it better to go with 10mm specific die set (Lee) or is a .40S&W/10mm set good to go?
- Lee makes a 40S&W die set that "will load 10mm" and also makes a 10mm set that "will not load 40S&W"
- Dillon only makes a .40S&W/10mm combined set
- Hornady makes a combined set
So, it looks like LEE is the only one with a 'dedicated' 10mm die set.
I get that it's similar to .38Spcl and .357, 10mm can be thought of .40S&W "Magnum". I have zero intention to load 40S&W, so I'm strictly looking at going with what's best for 10mm.
