Hey guys I'm looking for a recipe for a 10mm auto load using a 180 gr. wad cutter. I am using a lee pro 1000, Thanks

Might that be a semi-wadcutter? A full wadcutter is a flat bullet that resembles a cylinder, looks like a miniature coffee can and is typically loaded flush to the case mouth and meant for revolver calibers. Popular in .38 Special.

Cast lead bullet data for 10mm isn't all that common, but you can typically take jacketed data and reduce it 10-15% to start.
You don't mention what powder you intend to use-- I've had great luck with Blue Dot, Accurate #7 and Power Pistol. Load data for these can be found at the website of the powder maker... Alliant makes BD and PP, Accurate makes #7.
