Resizing 10mm Brass

[mrshyvley]

I have a Springfield Armory XDM Elite 3.8" 10mm that has a chamber that looks pretty well fully supported.
I took this picture next to my Glock 29 10mm barrel.
I sold my Glock 29 not long after.

I have experienced no problems with 10mm brass resizing (returning to spec, if you prefer) or any case bulges on brass from either the HiPoint (my 1st 10mm) or the XDM Elite. Although I, too, don't reload any real higher velocity (AKA, "Defensive-type") ammo in anything but new or once-fired Starline cases.

Just lucky, I guess?

Cheers!

P.S. I am still amazed as to just how accurate that HiPoint 10mm has proven to be. All that weight seems to negate any negative recoil effects, and it has become my test mule for both 40 S&W & 10mm reloading. Reliability has been 100%, although I did clean, lubricate & polish the feed ramp prior to firing it for the 2st time. (EDIT: Although a typo, I did shoot it once before I polished the ramp.)

That XDM is the best supported 10mm barrel I've seen yet.

Chuke's (Outdoor Adventures) list of the "10 Best 10mms" consistently lists the XDM as the 2nd "Best"(?) 10mm. And this is in some very expen$ive company as well!

1st place is a $2K+ Dan Wesson (now CZ) 1911...

Cheers!

P.S. Love mine (& their 45acp Elite Compact)! Only SA firearms I have ever owned.
