Ordered some of these bullets. I like the design for impact and penetration characteristics.

They also aren't bad about engaging in the rifling when seated long. That leads me to my point.

I have an excellent RIA 1911 in 40 S&W and a box full of 10mm Magazines. The only difference I can see between 40 and 10mm Mags is a spacer behind the ammo in the 40 S&W Rounds.

I figure I can long seat these in an abundance of 40 S&W brass I have and come mighty close to 10mm Ballistics. Installing the correct recoil spring first, of course. I'm betting they feed just fine from the 10mm Mags too.

Opinions and experience input welcome. Just don't ask what the point is. I'm not sure there is one except because I can.
