Another load question

[DRJ1911]

I am just getting back into reloading after many years and need a little help. I will be loading pd 124 fmj with v320 for now and need to find a good starting load. These will be for my Glock's and I am just looking for nice range and possibly GSSF ammo so I don't need to make pf. Nether of my manual's list v320 data but I have found data on the vita site and also on different forums but I am just not sure where to start. I will be shooting these in my g17 and g17l and am just looking for a nice load for the range. Thanks

P.S. I think that I have read every thread on loads in this forum but just need a little more help. I have my dies set up for 1.135 oal and .377 crimp if that helps.

Two loads for you (and both make Minor, although you said that wasn't important):

9mm 4.1 VV N-320 G-34 1.110 124 MG Rem SP 1069 1068 1044 2011 GA State Match 25 14.1 1060 131.4

9mm 4.1 VV N-320 G-34 1.110 124 MG Rem SP 1057 1068 1081 2011 USPSA Nationals 24 12 1068 132.1

9mm 4.1 VV N-320 G-17 1.110 124 MG Rem SP 1073 1058 1064 International Load 23 9.7 1061 131.6

9mm 4.1 VV N-320 G-17 1.110 124 MG Rem SP 1055 1033 1053 2011 IPSC U.S. Natls 22 12.1 1047 129.6

As you can see, that is my "go-to" load and has been extensively chono'ed at home and away. It's made with the Montana Gold 124, but they're really close to PDs when I chrono them.

Another cheaper alternative, but still good, involves Winchester SuperField, which is a lot cheaper than 320:

9mm 4.6 WSF XD-m 4.5" 1.110 124 PD WSP 1019 1048 1023 2011 IPSC U.S. Natls 29 15.7 1030 127.7

[Hi-Power Jack]

I I have my dies set up for 1.35 oal

Doyle, you should check that 1.135 (I presume you meant

1.135, not 1.35) will fit thru your mags and chamber, before

you load too many of them. Those fit in my gun, but won't

fit in all guns - little on the long side.

Thanks Braxton, I will try this load. I do have WSF,231,power pistol and unique that I will also try. I have read such good reviews on the 320 that I wanted to try it first. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks Jack, Thank God that I shoot better than I type. Yes it 1.135 I have checked them in my barrel's and mags and that oal seems fine. I don't think I could seat these bullets long enough to not fit my Glock barrels. LOL

Thanks again

Well I just got my powder from Powder Valley and they shipped the wrong powder. I ordered v320 and got v350 so no loading tonight. I will call tomorrow and find out what went wrong.
