I didn’t know that. I’ll do it this afternoon. Thanks Rob.

I did the same thing, if it shoots well in my guns I may order more.

My comment about handloading 9mm wasn't about Glocks. It was about handloading 9mm. I do have two 9mms that are not Glocks and one of them is a very very accurate pistol. Rob's comment about who loads 9mm was perfectly fine and understandable from the standpoint of how cheap the ammo is. But loading premium 9mm ammo in the +P catagory with a good JHP bullet like a 124 XTP that shoots tight groups in my p226 has merit. I mentioned three pistols in my OP and you just wanted to hone in on Glock's General accuracy and assumed I'm only handloading for a Glock. Also, as far as bulk ammo is concerned, in the post you responded to I believe I said a load that shoots into 2"-3" would be good.

My hogwash comment was in regards to... (reply)

Handloading for Glocks is akin to shooting silver BBs in a Red Rider...or whatever it was you said exactly. And the tone was for several reasons:
1) I clearly said WWB shoots bad in one of my 9mms, the Rem 115 JHP shoots all over the place in another and one pistol is oblivious to ammo choice. Thus I was asking for suggestions on ammo folks have good luck with and I got several good ones. However, you pretty much just made the point of how great WWB was, which, for you, is great if it serves your purpose, but it did me no good at all.
2) Pertaining to the silver BB comment, it may be pointless to shoot premium BBs in a Red Rider, but shooting practice ammo in your daily carry gun that is accurate, be it handloads or bulk ammo, is not silly at all. It makes perfect sense when WWB shoots 12" groups at 25 yards to find a different practice ammo and I, for one, just enjoy loading my own ammo.
3) Maybe it's just me, and I'm only speaking for me, but I get a little perturbed when someone starts on a forum with one name, leaves and comes back with another name, and then a third and a forth, and those are just the ones I know of. Why not just create an account with your real name (or a handle if you prefer) and stay you. Just my two cents.

and just curious, (reply)

the above reply to the why handload at all was seemingly lacking the blunt hogwash tone, seemingly reserved only for an observation as to average Glock accuracy?

I have shot 2" 25yds with mine too, but, (reply)

generally stars must be aligned, it is not repeatable on demand, and rested groups average no better.

If it hogwash, it leaves them looking like Jane Seymore, if you can fire 10ea 10-shot groups rested from most Glocks and it average smaller than 2" and give a statistically meaningful true average.

The best most Glocks can do is 2" from a rest... (reply)

Sorry to be blunt but that's hogwash. I own several Glocks and have owned more and that's simply not true...especially with 45 ACP and 10mm. My little Glock 36 has done 2.5" in my hands at 30 yards offhand several times and I bought this one because I had a previous 36 that shot that way as well.

That's a great deal. I just bought a box of 250. It's a great way to see how my guns like that load if nothing else, and if they like it, and I'll have more carry ammo.

I know you're looking for range ammo, but I recently picked up some self defense 9mm in bulk.

trying for the ultimate handload in a Glock is as using solid silver BBs in a Red Ryder.

Whio mloads 9mm??? 9 to 10 bucks a box now... (reply)

rob — Tue, 17 Jul 2018 00:16:25 +0000

Jerry Miculek does! I just like accuracy so I do too. It's good to find a decent load that will shoot into 2-3" at 25 yards but a handload that is a tack driver is always a plus to me.

Blazer Brass is my go to for training anymore. Winchester and Remington have had too many QC issues for me to use them anymore.

Just prior to the last election we ordered a quantity of 115 gr FMJ reloads from LAX Ammunition. It was a good price for the time and last summer we shot up a bunch of it. 100% reliability in the Shield so far. Haven't priced other sources lately so don't know how they compare pricewise. There's a lot more out there than there was two years ago - and probably better pricing as well.

Thanks Matt... (reply)

Good suggestion. CCI Blazer Brass always works well in my 45s so that may be another option.

You might try Georgia Arms (reply)

I have tried all sorts of their ammo and never had an issue.

with Seller and Bellot Bulk from cheaper than dirt or Graffs. Worth trying a box or two.
