When I look at Alliant's website they have one load for each bullet weight and type but since their OAL doesn't match mine it isn't really reliable data. The only thing that bugs me is that it has been impossible to find as extensive a load data compilation as I thought. I'm assuming 4-5 thousandths isn't too big a deal for pressure increase because I don't plan to reduce my charge any loading 1.09. So now I'm back to square 1 on this load. I was starting to scrape some the Coatings while compressing since they were also crimped so I decided to put that 50 in a box marked for my glock 34 (they plunk and spin just fine in it). I had to compress them down to the 1.09-1.10 area and some are still hitting the rifling on my Shadow 2. I am new enough that I didn't take into account the different shoulder profile of a 115 gr federal round (1.15 OAL) to a 147 gr blue bullet RN. I was able to get back to the bench a bit today now that I have all the correct dies. I train often enough that I won't have a shortage of federal brass for a long time. All of my brass is factory ammunition once fired by me only. So as long as the round chambers and fires everything is good right? As in, I can always tailor it more later when I have more equipment and understanding, but as long as it plunks, chambers, and fires correctly at 1.14 I'm good right?Įdit: just to add, I do not use range brass.
BLUE 9MM BULLETS HOW TO
Just not the minute details as to how to find magic in the correct OAL for my gun yet. So far all I understand about OAL is that it can affect chambering, accuracy, and pressure. are these fast burning? I don't mind switching to a different powder when I can afford it, especially if unique is going to dirty the hell out of my gun. Super nice guy but the press was bare so over the last 2 weeks I keep finding out I'm missing one more thing to allow me to load. I'm not sure how new my unique powder is since I got it with the press from a guy that's been reloading like 30 years. I am loading round nose between 1.12”-1.13” Internet reload recipes are at your own risk! Cough, cough. The trend in USPSA is heavy bullet, fast powder.

But the new unique is better from what I have been told. Unique is pretty dirty and doesn’t meter the best. Going off what I have been told by a CZ guy. The left over reloads go in the “Glock Food” pile.ĬZs need to be loaded shorter. My guns were not going into battery and the case gauge solved the problem with my 1911. There seems to be enough range brass run through Glocks and 9mm major that it can cause problems.

If you are reloading for guns with tight chambers (CZ, Walther PPQ, 1911), invest in a Wilson Cartridge gauge.
