5w30 and amsoil grease.

For what it's worth, I'm using the 11.5 CGW and Extended firing pin with S&B primers. They all go bang every time.

I've used them. They work great. the felt recoil is minimal, and they cycle the slide just fine if you are pushing right about 130pf. Any lower and you need to start messing with the recoil spring.

All other things being held equal, my reloading spreadsheet shows a 6pf difference when you drop the powder by two tenths. I have numbers based on different bullet weights (165 and a 137) with chronograph, and both bullet weights showed that same 6pf difference. This was using Titegroup. So, based on my data combined with your numbers, you probably need to drop it to 2.8 to get a PF of 128. That's just an estimate, but there you go.

I like the TC because they seem to feed the easiest. But, I've shot the RN and never noticed an accuracy difference that wasn't related to the monkey behind the gun.

I'm in the same boat looking for some good load data for the 165's, Titegroup and federal primers...Glock 34...anyone? Here's the data I have from a G34 (stock barrel) 2/26/15 Federal Primers Xtreme 165 Titegroup 2.6 1.140 OAL G34 Stock Barrel 724min 792max 763avg 7shots 125.9 PF (36) degrees F. 2/26/15 Federal Primers Xtreme 165 Titegroup 2.4 1.140 OAL G34 Stock Barrel 709min 746max 726avg 5shots 119.8 PF (36) degrees F.
