I have been Loading for my G21 for years
230 grn FMJ RN 4.7 grains of TiteGroup it has run flawlessly through my G21 My Wife bought me a brand spanking new Les Baer Super Tactical it is so damn tight it is hard for me to rack the slide. I took it to the range Monday with 100 rounds of Winchester White Box 230 grn FMJ and 100 rounds of Indepence 230 grn TMJ and 100 rounds of my reloads Above It ran Flawlessly with the WWB & Independence . But when it came to my reloads there was not near enough power to get complete ejections . I was getting stove pipes My manuals say for 230 grn FMJ RN Titegroup start at 4.3 gr and a max of 5.2 gr My concern is I will never do a max load and I am not convinced .3 gr more of titegroup is going to do it I also have WSF powder any suggestions/recommendations please |
| Increase the charge. Go up.2 grains until it runs. Just watch the cases for pressure signs. You have to work the loads up for YOUR gun. I have a 1911 that is very tight and it doesn't like light loads. An increase of .5 grains would put you at max but it is also a 10% increase. Again..Work it up and watch for pressure. Once it breaks in some you will probably be able to come down. A lighter recoil spring may help as well. Personally I watch for pressure signs but I also chrono everything I work up |
