TheTailor Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I just got done reloading my very first batch of reloads using VV320 and an OAL of 1.132. I setup four batches of 30 rounds each in 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 and 3.7. I used Montana Gold 147gr CMJ. These will be fired out of a Glock 34. These are my very first reloads. It was a lot of fun building my bench, setting up the equipment, and cranking out some reloads. I had a very slow start, but I wanted to be sure I understood all the operations involved. I won't be able to test out this rounds until the weekend. Anyone with some experience that could give me an idea what kind of power factors I will be hitting with these grains? Thanks!!

Sarge Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 PF will depend on the gun. I loaded these bullets over 3.6 N320 at 1.14 and got around 133-135 out of a G34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was reloading, so much was going on initially I lost track at what grains I was dropping. I had to start pulling some bullets and doing them over again. One thing that really helped out was the case lube, there is a big difference when using it. I need to get a good light, but other than that I am pretty much good to go. I was hoping to find an indoor range where I could chrono my rounds, but they don't have one available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I load the same bullet at 1.125" and 3.7gr of N320. It gives me 136-139PF (depends on the day) in my M&P Pro 5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki, I hope you have pulled the firing pin outta the gun first, before doing that type of "chamber check". One of these days, you are gonna have one go bang, when you least expect it.

TheTailor Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 i like n350 for my 9mm and also i like wsf for medium to fp loads p.s. do they cycle well in your glock? they just look kinda long They cycle fine, plus it's what people are recommending with G34s. They have not been tested with live fire yet, that will happen this weekend. I took a comparison shot below of a Sellier & Bellot 9mm 115 Gr with an OAL of 1.161. S&B on the left, my reload on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 My Glock34 liked Precision Deltas the most with an OAL of 1.130 ... don't know why. The nice thing about the Glock is that as long as they'll fit in the magazine (Had a few that wouldn't take more than 5 rounds @ 1.165) the gun will eat them. Nice, deep chamber. I was running either 3.4 Solo1000 or 3.2 titegroup under those, so not much help with your charge weight over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
