Glock 24: WST major?

[Th3Un4givin]

Hey, I just recently picked up a Glock 24 and am wondering if anyone has a load with 180gr plated bullets and wst? I've been an STI shooter so this is my first try at short oal major ammo.

Also I have a little bit of e3 as well.

Thanks in advance!

Hodgdon shows this for Berry's plated:

WST

.400"

1.125"

4.4gr

868fps

26,900 PSI

4.9gr

932fps

32,000 PSI

932 makes 167PF. Might be riding a little close. YMMV.

Yea I looked at their numbers and was hoping to find someone who had a load that is close that i can work up as well.

Thanks for the help PKT!

With the longer barrel 4.3 to 4.5 of e3 loaded to 1.135 should get you there.

I was getting 167pf in mine with 4.25gr WST and the older coating BBI 180s loaded to 1.150

That was with a LW barrel.

Sorry, I am used to people not looking at the websites for powder manufacturers first. Also, with your 24, I would guess you have at least an inch longer barrel than they test with. That may be the difference in getting to a comfortable PF without getting to max charge. Good luck.

Yea, thanks guys for your input, looks like I'll start around 4.1 and work up to 170pf.

Thanks!
