Weapon is a Glock 20 with a LWD 4.6" stainless barrel.
I have been working up some AA#9 loads with 155gr GDHP's
I worked up to 15.3gr AA#9, and tested one. The primer was flat, but not cratered or anything. I measured the spent case and got .425 towards the rim, and the unfired starline brass is .421-.422
Is this acceptable?
I do know the round was pretty stout. It expanded the GDHP to over an inch in soft dirt. Basically folded it all the way down to the base of the bullet.
I have seen several different max loads for AA#9 with 155gr bullets. High of 15.9 to low of 14.5. So, I wanted to make sure I know what to look for when working these up.
Thanks in advance.
 
My gut reaction is with this much case head expansion you are close to trouble. I'd repeat the measurement with some new DoubleTap ammo and if they expand less in your gun I'd definitely back off!
