Gents,
I’ve been reloading quite a while—primarily .45 acp for IDPA competition/SD and 300 BLK for hunting/plinking. New to loading 9mm. Just bought a Glock 45 and want to reload for competition shoots—and maybe SD. I have N320 that I use exclusively for my .45 and also some W231.
I use new Starline Brass and CCI primers. I like Hornady 124 XTP’s and Berrys RN with same grain. My problem—this Glock 45 will not handle any COL over 1.089 on the XTP’s and 1.095 on the RN. And I mean .001 over that and it’s stuck in the lands and FTE—every time. I measured also to confirm.
With the N320 I start showing overpressure on my primers at 4.1 under. Velocity is barely 1025fps. With W231 I can’t get any decent velocity either. VV only shows load data with 1.142 for XTP 124.
Was also considering loading for SD like I do with my .45, but again, I can’t get to the velocity I see in commercial SD loads.
Can any of you fine gents recommend a good, most importantly accurate, powder and/or recipe you use or know of that can be used with a short COL with higher speeds? A bonus would also be a rec for a super accurate 124 grain bullet that I could use to compete that might mimic a SD load I could get. I like to train as if I were in a SD situation so I ensure shot placement. My PCC eats up the 124’s also...
Any ideas super welcome.
