Being that the cartridge headspaces off of the case mouth I would agree. I don't think a roll crimp is a good idea.
Aa7 is what i burn,in my 10mm unbeatable accuracy,and speed
Accurate No. 7 Smokeless Gun Powder
Hit the bullseye, shot after shot, with Accurate #7 smokeless powder from Powder Valley. This high-quality pistol powder is formulated for consistency.www.powdervalley.com
At $26/ pound for 8 pounder. What's not to like? I use it in 9mm & 44 Special,

Good information. I have quite a bit of Blue Dot and Unique. I still have a good amount of Alcan 7, which has been good stuff in .357. I'd have to figure out data, but I bet it would be good in 10mm.

Went through several 8# jugs of BD! Mainly in 357 Magnum, before switching to cast, exclusively. It's been replaced with 2400, which is more versatile in several other calibers.

I've not found the 10mm to be powder-sensitive. I also don't run the 10mm very hard, either--175-180 grain bullets at 1150-1250 FPS, which is about a 10% download. Norma-level loads......200 grainers at 1200-1225 FPS......are maybe a bit much for my Glocks. Exploring that realm sounds more like S&W Model 610 x 6" country.

Blue dot, 800 X wore my go to max power 10 mm powders for many years. Later long shot became a good one and most recently power pistol. Today still use blue dot because it's been so proven and work so well with so many loads I found, but if I ran out tomorrow, as long as I could get power pistol, I wouldn't need any other powder. I don't know how much more I can proclaim my value in power pistol in 10 mm.
Now, number seven has been awesome and unique has been good. Many powders have been very good and would be good for anybody else not taking away from anyone else's top choice.

My 10mm is a 1911,,and very rare,as its one of the only handguns i own,that loves to be run full throttle.that 206 gr@1240fps,,is a powerful rig.
Most accurate load is a 158hp@1450fps,,that load cuts hole in paper! Love the 10,but its an animal.
Aa7,uses about 2-2.5 grs less then aa9,,,so theres that.

Hijo la! More power to ya, sir--and I'll reserve comment about the 1911s and the 10mm. Yeah, the 10mm can be a handful--Silvertips (or their equivalent, 175s @ 1225-1250 FPS) are a fun ride in my Glock 29, for certain. Pearce finger-hook baseplates are an asset.

Finally go a die set on the way.
So I can get to loading for this gun in a week or so.
Took it out again today, ran 25 rounds of buffalo bore, and a bag of mix match of .40 & 10 that was gave to me. Took all of them no problem.
Seams like this gun is getting smoother with every shot. Looks like the "?engine paint?" Is finally starting the wear off the ramp, and the rails.
Think my starting line up of powders are going to be what I have, that I am not using. Mainly Long Shot and Blue Dot.
