SERVED_USMC Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Im not sure what everyone is running, and this is an inquiry more for a buddy than myself. Bullet- MG 180gr JHP OAL- 1.14 Powder- Titegroup @ 4.8 Winchester brass and WSP primers This will be a Major PF load. 1.14 is about the longest we can go without having feed issues, but loading for my 2011 I run 1.175 and am confident in not having an issue with that powder charge for mine. What can be expected with the shorter OAL and that much powder? The length will probably stay as is, but I dont want to load anything until Im sure about the charge.

EkuJustice Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 seems pretty high with the longer barrel and shorter OAL. Start low and work up. Mine is a 6 inch 2011 and makes major at 4.5 grains with a cushion of 4.6 grains loaded at 1.185 with the shorter load, I would load less and work up. I would try a few each at 4.2 grain, 4.4 grains and 4.6 grains and hit the chrono working from the lowest up. 4.8 seems like a pretty heavty load with that short of an oal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I won't go over 1.133" in the .40 Glock mags. That said, I agree seems a tad warm for a starting load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERVED_USMC Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Roger that. Ill start with 4.4 and 4.6 and see where it takes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShootR Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 G35 with aftermarket KKM barrel. Couple loads I have used. I like Titegroup powder but it is temp sensitive. VV powder will be more consistent in temp changes. Range brass and Federal Primers (very good primers for a light stricking Glock) 180 MG CMJ TiteGroup 4.7gn 1.130 oal average 945fps x 180gn = 170 pf 86deg 180 MG JHP VV N320 5.0gn 1.135 oal average 946fps x 180gn = 170 pf 80deg day Note: I can't Guarantee the accuraccy of my chrono or my powder charge so use only as a guide.

RH45 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wow, does that sound high! When I was loading 180 jhps to fit in my Glock 35 mags, 4.2 grains of Titegroup made 170pf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of weather did you chrono that in? What was the OAL? Like I said, Im used to the long OAL and high powder to make PF out of my 2011 limited gun. So I knew my original guess was probably a little high based on the shorter length needed. Thats why I come here first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never noticed any difference at the chrono, with Titegroup, between 35-80 degrees. I would have to dig around to see if I still have any "short" ammo around for my Glock to see exactly what the OAL was. For my 2011s, I use 4.7 grains of Titegroup at 1.2" and get about 172 pf.
