Well, I suppose most of you have read "Shooting time's" review of Colt's
new 10mm Govn't model by now (or some equivalent review) and are wondering,
like me, where when and how much. I don't think any answers are forthcoming
from Colt for awhile, but I'd be interested in any rumors that some of you
may have heard.

As far as the 10mm as concerned, it looks like a pretty decent cartridge
for its size, though anything that generates 41,000 CUP max is going to be a
pain to design autoloaders for. At least it ain't rimmed. :-)
Has anyone shot it from a contender barrel? I saw some 100 yd groups that
looked pretty decent, shot from a machine rest. I'm Very Curious how
the first tuned Colts are going to start performing. Machine rest groups
from a contender are one thing, offhand shots from the Colt will be
another.

It appears that only Norma loads this cartridge, currently. Has anyone heard
anything about Winchester coming out with a Silvertip load in this
caliber? At 1100 FPS, a 200Gr. JHP should expand nicely.

In any case, Colt's offering looks like it will finally legitamize this
cartridge. I wonder if someone will revive Dornaus and Dixon now.. Hmmm..

Is anyone interesting in starting a betting pool as to when the first
commercially produced 10mm SMG will be out?
