Hmmm... Hornady says the max load for a 10mm Auto with a 200 grain XTP and Accurate No. 9 (13.2 grains) yields 1,150 FPS. I'd tend to trust the powder manufacturer's figures a little more than the bullet manufacturer's though. Still using Hornady's data, I think I'd probably go with a 180 grain XTP with 10.7 grains of Blue Dot and get 1,250 FPS. Plus, I'd be able to load 124 more rounds per pound of powder. Well, once I actually get a 10mm Auto, anyways. One of these days...
