Need COL for 9mm Major in a Glock 17

I am working up a load for my Glock 17 with a Long Wolf 5" barrel w/ Jager Comp. 13# spring

Using HS6, starting out at 7.8 grains, what COL is the minimun I should be trying? I loaded up a few dummy rounds at 1.18 and they will not chamber fully. Is 1.150 too short?

Thanks

I run my 9mm loads for the G17 at 1.160 to 1.162 and they work well in the mags. Much longer and they will be to long.

The longest commercial 9mm I've measured is about 1.165". I run mine at 1.350 in my XD, but lots of folks go longer. Just not 1.180.

Hello: What weight of bullet are you using? For the 95 grain bullets I use 1.100" and for anything else I use 1.150" in the Glock. Any longer than that I found they don't feed that well in the mags. Thanks, Eric

Opps..sorry, I'm loading Zero 125 JHP, (fully encased)

1.155 and I have the exact configuration that you do. Works very well.

are you loading for major? whats your statring point using a 125 JHP & HS6.

Thanks

Do you have a chronograph?.....i hope mellow.gif

I started at 7.6 and slowly worked up from there. My gun made major at 8.1 grains.

My match load is 8.2 - 8.25 using a #100 Federal SPP to start things off. Great load

for its purposes.
