reloading 9mm needs info

johnzane · January 30th, 2008, 09:18 AM

I am wanting to load up some power factor loads for IDPA comp. and I need to get 1000 fps from a glock34. I could use some info to help me get started. I will be using lead round nose bullets and a kkm barrel. I have been useing tightgroup but I was getting the barrel leaded really bad. I told to try winchester 231.

I use 5.2g of Unique. Alot of people don't like Unique because it's dirty, but I've never not been able to finish and IDPA event because of a dirty gun. I like 124g Rainier ballistic bullet tips. I get over 1000fps. You will need 1086 fps if you use 115g bullets to make minor.

WSF. Dynamite in the 9mm. Lead friendly as hell. I don't load 9mm but those buddies that shoot a lot of 9mm (tens of thousands of rounds per year) shoot lead and WSF.

I load 4.9 grains of Bullseye under a 115 grain bullet. It makes Minor easily and is pretty comfortable to shoot (it's full tilt, but it's 9mm). This is my IDPA load, and also the load that makes my G35 function with a 9mm conversion barrel.

Unique has been my favorite handgun powder for fifty+ years. I've probably tried almost everything made, but still come back to Unique.
