New Reloader - Recommendations

[D.Hayden]

Berkim,

My load for 40 Major, Glock 35 with KKM barrel...

- Zero 180g JHP

- OAL  1.130 - 1.135

- Federal SP

- Winchester once fired brass (mostly)

- 4.3g of TG

I used to use 4.2g, but bump up a grain so that I could run the sam ammo out og the G20 we have (with a KKM 40 barrel).

Before that, I had the Glock Factory barrel in there, I recall needing even less to get to Major comfortably.

I do have a new jug of powder and a new lot of primers...maybe I had better go chrono again.

Thanks Flex.. (and thanks for letting me get those mags by the way )

I was figuring you were going to say lead... for MG's I need to bump mine to 4.7 to make major.

How many rounds do you have through this barrel?

I'm just amazed that there could be this much difference.

for my S_I - I did 4.6's at 1.500, 1.175, and 1.200 - it definetly got faster as the OAL went shorter, but the glocks were all at 1.125

For all the 180 MG's shooters I've seen, 4.3 would be the lowest, still making major. Although most people I know are using SVI, STI, or Para, I'd guess most are 4.6 to 4.7

-- I'd split this whole drift off if I could ---

I'm new to reloading with a comp in a G34. Looking for favorite 9 major loads. Any help would be appreciated!

what I can suggest is to chrono what ever you decide to use as your powder/primer/case/bullet and OAL
