The purpose of this project is to search for a 9mm (9x19) handload with the following criteria:
1-Ammunition must be fired from a Glock 17 with original factory bbl
2-Makes USPSA/IPSC minor PF of 125
3-Accuracy at 25 yards less than 3 inches from a bench rest
4-Feed and function with 100% reliability
5-Must cost less than  factory ammo at sale price (less than $10 per box 50)

I have some tests which I'll post. But I'd like to know if anyone has already been there and done that.
Submit a pic of your target if you got one. ...submit load data if possible.
Again, this would be for a stock glock17.
Many other guns can do this but I want to see if a stock glock can be made to shoot like a more expensive gun by tailoring the ammo for it.

Suggestions anyone?

Bump

It's been 2 years with 500 views and nobody has offered an accurate handload for a stock glock pistol.

Funny, I don't recall ever seeing this post?

I came up with a load for my Glock 17 eight years ago. Too tired to find the load I'm using. I'll get back to you tomorrow. I don't remember what the test results were? I still have plenty of components if you want to assemble some yourself.

Don't have a glock, but my 9mm load is 3.2 grns Bullseye with 147 grn SNS cast Coated bullets.  I can give you some if you want to shoot it in your glock and check speed.  Supposedly coated lead is ok in glock barrels but i guess YMMV.    still havn't got around to chronoing them....

Here's an idea.
If you think you got a bullet that will work to meet my criteria, I'll trade you 1 for 1, any bullet that I have in my shop.

Yep
Heads too

I found some load data. I ended up with two loads:

124gr Montana Gold JHP (Not for self defense)
4.2 and 4.4 gr Titegroup
CCI SPP

I usually load just the 4.2gr of Titegroup since all my semis function well with the load and I didn't see any significant difference in accuracy.

I have choke MG 124gr JHP heads so if you want to try some, let me know.

I'll buy or trade some. A couple hundred will do.

All kinds of pistol bullets.
Cast, plated, some coated, some jacketed.
It's like a crack seed store for bullets.

How about 100 9mm moly coated lead and 100 coated 45 cal?

The 9mm moly is not like the new coatings. It's old tech moly. You can have those manuahi.

Let me take inventory of the coated 45 bullets. Maybe I can make up a mix plate of pretty colors.
I also got 45 hollow, ball, jhp.
You have an auto or revolver?

Revolver. Do you have any in the 185gr-200gr range? Right now I am shooting 250gr LSWC. Getting good results but would like to try something different.

Would really like to try the coated bullets if possible.

If it's a long colt, these acp bullets don't have a crimp groove and the nose might be so long it doesn't fit the cylinder.
