Cuz Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Can someone tell me what the max oal is that will function reliably in a Glock 34? In my 40 calibers it seemed to be more of a function of what oal would work reliably in the magazines. Is this also true of the 9mm? I'm looking for a MINOR PF load that I can shoot in both a Glock and an STI. I'm figuring 3.8 - 4.0 gr TiteGroup and a 124gr Berry's RN bullet. Thanks, Cuz.

Flexmoney Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Likely depends on the bullet profile. I remember, way back when, measuring some WWB 115's. I was suprised that they were 1.160 OAL. They ran fine in the glock mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Around 1.150 is the max I like to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiten Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Based on the numbers in the Vitavuori reloading guide my OAL is 1.142 for my Glock 34. I have been running this length for quite some time now and I have never yet run into problems related to OAL. Cor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks for the info. I'll keep these numbers handy. -Cuz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have made 1.165" work in 17 round NFML's with RN bullets. FML's have worked fine with RN at 1.155" OAL, but 1.150" will allow some functioning clearance so the noses won't drag. I use 1.135" with JHP's for my Taylor Freelance base pad mags because of the way the JHP ogive mates with the base pad cavity clearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstew Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) I have some 147's I loaded to 1.170 that are TOO LONG. That is unless you want to shoot a single shot glock. Edited November 25, 2006 by pstew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK Dan Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I load to 1.160 and the run fine out of GLOCK and HK mags. HK Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
