When I owned a Glock Mdl. 23 in this caliber I liked the 165gr JHP bullet. I remember that I used Blue Dot powder for reloading this bullet and it was accurate and gave a high FPS velocity. 180gr is usally standard for this caliber, I liked the lighter 165gr because the faster velocity would expand the JHP better. Just my 2cents.
I shoot the Lyman 175grRNFP o/ 5.8gr of WSF. Most accurate load for me to date.
