I have always thought that a 10mm MAC would be pretty cool, but creating one that would work would be rather difficult, especially trying to find a mag that could work with the platform, redesigning uppers etc. i was chatting with my gunsmith who told me about the 400 corbon cartridge. basically its a .45 casing necked down to .40/10mm, and delivers 10mm ballistics (1300+FPS with 165gr projos) with pressures closer to .45 acp than 10mm (just a touch hotter than 45, but significantly lower than 10mm)
Supposedly...... i could convert one of my M10/45 uppers to 400 corbon with nothing more than a barrel swap. My gunsmith says making a barrel from a blank would be rather simple so long as we can get our hands on a chamber reamer. As far as ammo, i roll my own, and .45acp can be easily turned into 400 corbon by simply running it through a sizing die, then using 10mm components. ammo dimensions are very similar (length and width) and should (ceteris paribus) run in my grease gun mags with zero issues.
I think it would be rather neat to try this, curious if anybody has ever tried, and what their experience was like in the offhand chance they did.
