Newbie reloader, just got my new 650 fired up and put together an initial load. The specs are:
180 MG FMJ
TG-4.2
OAL-1.16
They fit in my Glock mag and don't bind, the Glock eats them up fine, running a 13 lb spring, cycles well.
However my STI is stock other then a nice 2.5 lb trigger. She does not cycle these rounds well, I beleive the stock spring is a 15 lb spring. Accuracy is fine. I did not spend a lot of time working on this, I just had to run out and see if they work. I was shooting all A's at all ranges out to 40 ft. At 20 ft groups were half dollar, so I can tweak later if I need too. So what was happening is every 4th or 5th round it would hang up on the ramp, I could hit the back of the slide and it would go into battery fine. So what are the recomendations out there.
My goal is too have a round that works both guns well, is that unrealistic?
Also I do not have a chrono, (I Know, I Know) I will get one!!!
Get lighter spring in STI?
Increase powder charge?
Reduce OAL?
Other?
Thanks
