Wyokid Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm having issues with running my reloads in the Glock and Sig 226. I reloaded some 9mm with Accurate No. 5 5.0 grains at 1.140 and had multiple feed issues. I tried 5.2 grains as well with same issue. Is there a rule of thumb for 9mm reloads? I know on the .45 if I load it at 1.250 I have no issues on anything so far. Any insight would be appreciated!!! If you have favorite loads for Clay's, 700X, Titegroup for this same bullet - it would be appreciated as well!Thanks for your help! Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure there isn't a rule of thumb because the oal is going to differ for each handgun. I'v been loading at 1.150 for my glock using 124gr xtrme plated rn's and haven't had any issues. Maybe try loading a little longer, like 1.15-1.16? I'm just a beginner and it's just an idea. I'm sure some more experienced people will chime in. Edited January 21, 2014 by G17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your load may still be a bit light for AA #5 if the Xtreme are more akin to the Berry's versus Rainier and you aren't cycling properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omayer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 What RDA said. I went back through my load development notes and found that my Glock 34 wouldn't cycle even with 5.8gr and that was with the 15lbs reduced recoil spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 "Multiple feed issues" is sort of generic Feed issues can be the load, the oal, the crimp, condition of the gun, worn out mag springs, etc... More specific info might help locate the issue sooner.... Have you plunk tested some of the rounds in your barrel? or a chamber gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyokid Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks guys! As a matter of fact I put all of them thru a Lyman 9mm case gauge before putting them in the MTM boxes. I think the loading longer and heavier grains is a good idea. Now that I think about it, the last one to fire in the mag didn't lock the breach open like it should! Brand new G17 gen 4 gun.

heaman Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 My G34 wouldn't cycle less than 5.5 grains of AA#5 with 115gr Berry's plated. A load with 5.6-5.7 grains seemed to be the ticket for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
