I have a Glock 21G4 with the Lone Wolf 6.5" barrel. First I had to touch it up with a 10mms creamer for it to chamber right. But I came up with a load of the Lee 401_175TL lubes with 45-45-10 sized to .402 over 8 grn of IMR 700x. This is a stiff load but it shoots point of aim and I can hit a 4 inch spinner at 25 yards off hand

am going to start developing a load for my dedicated 1911/400 corbon... when it first hit the shooting public i thought for sure it was going to take off...anyway have nm barrel, good brass also roto 4m with compensator... should be a fun project...tx.

I enjoy the 6" barrel I have for my 1911, middle son has borrowed it however.

If your son is anything like my son, might have to remind him that it is borrowed...ha. When I can't find dies etc I have to call my son and get them back...tx

5.7gr of American Select with the LEE 175gr TC boolit. I took the load data from Sierra's load manual and its an equivalent load in the 45ACP section of the manual as well.

10-4... thanks. was thinking 170 bit heavy to start with but we will try...have 231 and unique and hp 38 to play with...thanks, tx...

Its the only mold I had at the time. I intend to buy a lighter weight bullet to try as well. 135-140 is the next mold I think.

Yea, well I have his 45acp barrel, and he gets all his ammo from me. He does reload, however I'm the only one with presses, his only equipment consists of the wack-a-mole 7mm Rem Mag lee set. Everything else he comes to my house for. Speaking of that, this particular young man needs to come up with some time to help me form more 300BO as we both have uppers but I'm the only one making cases lol.

As for loads, I haven't loaded any in long enough that I can't remember my data however I was planning on working more up as I've moved from a 145gr SWC mold to a 175gr TC mold. When shooting actual 400 Cor-bon brass (from starline) I work up to the maximums I have found at reliable sources online. With reformed 45 acp cases I stick to the starting loads for safety.
