ksshooter Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have my Dillon dies on hand and my RL550 is ready to go. Now I only need to go and pick my brand new Glock 22 up. However after reading many postes on this site and others I am getting paranoid about reloading for it or at least reloading my fired brass numerous times. My use or purpouse is to load practice rounds in either 180gn or 165gn. I should clarify practice rounds as self protection/duty rounds. I will be sticking with Hodgdon Tightgroup powder due to having a lot on hand. Unfortunatly Hodgdon's site doesn't list a load for the 165gn bullet. I figure I will just work my load up to about 800 fps? I wan't a mild load that isn't going to overwork my brass. I can't afford a new barrel right now so what are my options. Toss the brass which I don't want to do after any less than 10x fired approx? What are your thoughts. Also what should I look for after many firings of this brass is it obvious or do you guys have to take a caliper to measure the brass to a certain point, see if fired case will fit in a case gauge? Or will it be obvious as to split cases and or something else obvious? Thanks ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock-cop Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 There will be a small bubble on the case near the rim. I can get once fired .40 brass (mostley fired from glocks) from my police range and buddies and just leave it. Some people pick it up and use a case-pro on it. If you get used brass you can run into some problems. I would stick to factory ammo for self-defense. If you worried about recoil hydra-shok makes self-defense loads which are mild. If you load the 165gr @ approx. 800 fps that is a mild load (non-major for ipsc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
