They have mentioned mainly COAL,magazine,and follower symptoms. I have read dozens of articles on the Glock fail to feed problems in the last few days and the 23 seems to be the one having the most problems. New gun,but may trade it at the next show. I've had it 8 or 10 years and it looks and smells good but I'd like to use some at the range. I have bullseye,titegroup,and CFE pistol on hand but have more Unique than I need to keep,so I'm wanting to burn some of it. I've been researching it for 3-4 days now and haven't found ANY data on it other than COL. All the rest that other mfgs are calling a round nose have a flat end on them,some with a rounded shoulder. 40 S & W and that is the Berry's #38854 180gr. Out if ALL the manufactures I have checked for data and boolits,there is only one I have found with a true RN for. I just read it again in the last 2-3 days researching the Berry's boolit I'm wanting to use. Berry's does say using cast lead data on their website for plated boolits is acceptable. Actually the Lyman is the one I use most often. It does't say a word about using cast data:Ĭlick to expand.I have 7 different load data manuals. This is a copy/paste directly from the FAQ section at Berry's. Here are websites with load data information, If you are denting or deforming the bullet, your accuracy will suffer and the bullet may start to tumble before it hits the target. If you were to pull the bullet out of a case with the proper crimp you would find no more than a scratch on the surface of the plating. We recommend a light crimp on the bullet, just enough to put pressure against the bullet without denting or deforming the plating. Thick Plate Bullets (TP) max velocity- 1,500 fps.įor SAAMI MAX COL specs or OAL of the bullet please click HERE. Standard Plate Bullets max velocity- 1,250 fps. You can use any published data as long as it is the same weight (FMJ, Lead, Plated, etc.) Please consult load data books or your powder manufacturers' website for load information. Question: Do you have load data available? COL or OAL? It does't say a word about using cast data: I'm not that fond of Glocks,but I got a smoking deal on a 23,so I'm going to make it work.Ĭlick to expand.This is a copy/paste directly from the FAQ section at Berry's. All the rest may call theirs a round nose but they're not. May decide to go with a different boolit from Berry's but theirs is the only actual RN I have been able to find. 400 180 grn HAP for $5 and ordered two packs to experiment with. Found a deal on midsouths for 30 rnd sample packs of. Don't know why they would make a boolit that you can't get data for. Their website says to use cast lead data it nothing else is available and that is pretty much in line with the charges I've been using with the OT's. I plan to call Berry's Monday and see if they have any thing to say. Actually the OT's function better than the Wins. I wanted the RN due to feeding issues with both the white box Winchester's and the OT SWC's. I've been shooting Oregon Trail lead cast 175 grain SWC over 5.2 grs of Unique with good results so since I can't find any specific data,I'm just going to use that for the Berry's and start lower. The bullet I'm wanting to use is a Berry's RN,and it really is a completely round nosed bullet like a RNFMJ. I have about 10 lbs of unique I would like to burn some of in.

Seems like the data in all of the manuals is for FP or JHP,XTP etc. 401 180gr SWC but for now I want to get away from cast. The Oregon Trail cast boolits I have been using are. I have both Lyman cast books,a Lyman 50th,a new Hornady,a Lee,and the newest alliant,and a Speer and none have data for RN. I like Berry's and shoot lots of them for plinking. I want to try a total RN profile with some cheap boolits for plinking and Berry's is the only one I've found that has them. Same weight boolits but the charge weight difference makes me wonder. I'm shooting Oregon Trail 170-175 lead cast in it now with 5.3gr unique but it's a Glock 23 that I got a deal on and I'm wanting to get away from cast boolits unless I change barrels. It's a different profile but still a BIG difference from the same weight Speer GDHP of a start of 6.0 and Max of 6.7 unique. The Lyman single lube groove data for a 180gr is for a flat nose and the recipe is start 4.6 and Max of 5.2 of unique.
I use it pretty often when using plated bullets since Berry's says to use lead cast data in my situation if there is no specific data for my boolit. I also looked at the Lyman 4th edition cast book data. I have an alliant book but their data,as you say is for the GDHP is the same as the Speer.6.7 max so I guess that's ok.
