Bill Rosenthal Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I am looking for a safe load to make a 168pf in a Glock 35 with a stock barrel and 180gr. FMJ or JHP. with an O.A.L. of 1.125 - Perhaps something with Universal Clays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) Hi Bill and welcome to the forum. I use a 180 Zero under 4.7 grains of Titegroup - but that's out of a Glock 22. I get about a 171-173 PF depending on the chrono. I may drop the charge, but I hate changing loads . . . Titegroup seems to be a popular powder for 40 major. You can back off a few grains with the Glock 35 - about 4.3-4.4 grains should get you there with Titegroup. I've never tried Universal Clays, but do a search. You should find a lot of info on a 40 major load for Glocks. Edited October 6, 2005 by chp5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Dang it. Every time Cy posts his 4.7g of TG load I feel the need to post that I don't need anywhere near that much to make Major in my Glock(s). (hmmm, I haven tried the new G22 yet) TiteGroup and Zero 180's (jacketed) at 1.135 OAL. I'd suggest working up to a load around 4.0-4.2g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gaines Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I agree, I use 4.3 gr of titegroup thru kkm precision barrel, precision delta 180 gr. OAL 1.135. shooting g35, makes major. Hopes this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbs007 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I just loaded 180gr Winchester bullets with 4.4gr TG at 1.125. Will chrono this Saturday out of a G22 with Bar-Sto barrel and post the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric nielsen Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Look around in the Springs forum and especially the Glock forum, much discussion. Quick answer is try a 15lb recoil spring & see if it functions. Then shoot stronghand only and weakhand only. If your gun chokes shooting weakhand, try a 14 or 13lb spring. If you let a friend or family member shoot that gun, they need to try the onehand shooting for themself - might need a different spring than you.

mike4045 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I use 4.3 TG in my 35. I do have a Barsto barrel in it. Makes major and runs really smoothly in the gun. I do have a 15# spring and steel guide rod in it. I load to 1.135 oal. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessej Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The stock glock rod is a captured guiderod. There are after market guiderods, usually made out of steel or tungsten, that don't hold the spring in when the rod is out of the gun.There are both captured and un-captured after market guiderods designed for the glock. Some people make the stock guiderod un-captured so that they can customize spring rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kline Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Flex, what barrel are you shooting yours out of? Wow, 4.0-4.2 grs makes major for you? In my experience, the stock barrels give higher velocities with the same loads compared to the aftermarket barrel (Barsto, KKM, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I have a KKM barrel in the G35 now. With the stock barrel I could use a tenth less powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Glock 35 - 4.6 TG, makes a 168, so I load 4.7.. OAL 1.125 - that's with plated (everything stock, about 1,000 rounds through it) 4.2 gets me 158PF Everytime I see Flex's load, it makes me wonder why it's so different.

Chuck D Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Is an aftermarket barrel necessary? From what I've read, the aftermarket barrel supports the case better than the stock barrel. Is the addition of an aftermarket barrel a form of "insurance policy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I worry more about people's reloading abilities...what barrel they use doesn't scare me much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 4.3 gr of TG and any brand of 180 makes Major out of both of my G35s. I load to a 1.125" OAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWest N AZ Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) Sorry to butt in I was just wondering what is the stock OAL in factory stuff for the 40? Im getting in to reloading soon and trying to find a good load for my 23 for major. Due ya think this might be a good load to start off on for me? "" 4.3 gr of TG and any brand of 180 makes Major out of both of my G35s. I load to a 1.125" OAL."" (Joe D) I see that min OAL 1.095 to max OAL 1.135 is the 40 listings So will the Glock barrel take the min to the max, or is the max OAL for it less?

Flexmoney Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 You probably shouldn't start off trying to load to Major, especially in 40. If you have a Glock 23, I'd suggest shooting it in Production to start off with. Load to Minor power factor, instead of Major. (everybody shoots Minor in Production) 180's 3.6g of TiteGroup @ 1.135 OAL Unless you are on a SDB, skip the Dillon dies and get a Lee 4-die set ...which includes the FCD (Factory Crimp Die). A lot cheaper as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
