kaech Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) hey guys I'm new here and pretty new to reloading I bought a 650 with feeder last October and eight pounds of Winchester auto comp that powder is almost gone now and I'm only able to get a pound of long shot does anybody have any recommended loads for a 124 grain bullet? I have 124gr PD, MG, WIN all RN fmj's. otherwise I'll just keep looking for powder but there isn't much of anything around and just keep this for when I get in to reloading.40 Edited March 31, 2014 by kaech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaech Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I should mention that this is all just range ammo to be shot out of glock 9mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Is this 9Major for a compensated pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaech Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Nope just looking for a warm range (plinking) load.guns are factory glock 9's Is this 9Major for a compensated pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The majority of shooters shoot USPSA wherein there are rules surrounding the "Power Factor" of match ammunition; the PF is calulated using the velocity in FPS X the weight of the bullet in grains / 1000 (e.g. 180gr bullet traveling 1000fps is 180pf). Major ammunition clocks in at 165pf and above so 9mm Major is pretty unpleasant in a pistol without a compensator . For comparison Sellier and Bellot 9mm 124-gr. FMJ target ammo is 134pf so if you're not loading for 9 Major, Hodgdon's online manual is your best bet: http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
practical_man Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Longshot is LOUD and not so good for minor PF ammo. I use it becaus I can't get anything else righ now and have some for heavy 12 gauge loads. Check Hodgdon for loads. I am loading 5.5 grains with 115 zero JHP.
