Slow & easy, that's the way to ream them by hand, to get the most consistent results.

I don't seem to have any issues with an "Auto shoulder", but I've shot a very limited amount of 10mm Mag.
The only problem I see, & have experienced, with cutting a revolver chamber (with a shoulder) for auto ammo -vs- a revolver chamber cut (without a shoulder), is that you can more easily get bullet interference with the throats in the former than the latter.

I've ran into this in my 45WSM (with "auto cut" chambers) using cast LSWC bullets that leave more of the bullet's shoulder outside the case.

(I really like my 45WSM, as a wildcat "auto cartridge" in a revolver, over the 10MAG, if for no other reason than the availability of bullets with cannelures. Anything .45 is just cool anyway. )

I've had a back-order with S-L since Apr-2021 for 10mm MAG brass. Don't know if they lost my order or they still haven't made a run of them yet?

I got some from a forum member here. You might try putting an ad in the WTB section.

I've tested a lot of different powders with 165gr JHPs in the 10MAG.

Here's some LabRadar chrono results:
