In a normal buying environment what is everyone’s go to 10mm range projectile and what is it running per bullet when bought in bulk? I’m looking for everyone’s specific manufacturer and model. They’ll be run out of a Glock 29 with an after market barrel so lead could work, but prefer copper fmj.
 
180 or 200 grain fmj. Magtech 180 fmj is what I am shooting currently, Glock 20 all factory.
 
180gr fmj, ...The best bang for the buck is the Underwood Range Supply. It's the "hottest" factory loaded plinking ammo you'll find. My second choice is the SIG ball ammo, just as spicy and accurate as the Underwood, but its too pricey for volume shooting. Both the S&B and Magtech plinking ammo are loaded as light as a 40cal round but still charging 10mm pricing..., so I don't understand the appeal. Also, Magtech primers are crimped in and S&B primer pockets are extremely tight. If you reload or plan on doing it in the future, this is going to cause a lot of headaches and aggravation.
Underwood sells direct to the customer which is another plus. I've shot over 4k of their various offerings flawlessly, not one failure.

G20sf, KKM barrel, Precision Overwatch Tac trigger, Trijicon night sights. I carry this as my hunting sidearm for protection, training with ammo that mimics personal defense ammo just makes sense to me.16159226741017259545043893119929.jpgScreenshot_20210316-115708_Chrome.jpg
 
Hornady 180gr FMJ and 180gr HAP are standard fodder for range reloads, neither are more than .20c per bullet. Sign up for notifications and you'll have no problem finding some.
Keep an eye on American reloading and Rocky Mountain Reloading. I've scored multiple thousands of 180gr HST and 200gr GDHP pulled projectiles from them for the same price or less than regular FMJs.
Accurate #9 powder and 10mm is like peanut butter and jelly.
 
I run 180 XTP exclusively in my 10s. So I run plated Berry's FP w round shoulder I believe. Cheap even by todays prices. Shoot clean. Cycle fine. Not terribly difficult to find
 
Thanks guys! Looking for projectiles only. Not loaded ammo.

Ahh, I have used Berrys for 9mm and they're fine. I'd expect the same in 10mm. This place has a bunch right now but I haven't used them myself.
 
I've kept this to myself because it keeps me in supplies, but 38-40 bullets are cheap, readily available and work well in the 10mm. I like the wide meplat of the design. Coated ones solve all of the issues with lead.
 
Cast Hi-Tek coated bullets. There are a number of good manufacturers but I use SNSCasting and ACME. I use them for 10mm and 9mm range loads. For 10mm, 180-220gr bullets. Bullets have been as accurate as my Hornady XTP’s and any factory loads I’ve shot. I’ve used grooved, non-grooved, flat nose, round nose. All have shot very well.
 
I have been using xtreme heavy plated bullets in my 9mm and 10mm for quite a while. 147gr and 180gr. They've always worked well for me.
 
180gr Berry's. Same bullet I use in .40 S&W too. If I want to run some full power loads I'll use 200gr FMJs.
