View Full Version : Lee 401-145 in glocks
Just curious if anyone has run the Lee 401-145-swc through a glock?
I know about reloading for Glock 40s and polygonal leading. I will be coating these.

I have shot some through a stock G22. They worked fine with WW lead and liquid Alox.
Was curious if they would feed due to the rebated hose creating a lip. You didn't have that problem?

I shot these out of a Walther PPQ and a Glock 22 with out any feeding problems. I had the lube rings machined out of the mold and had a lot better success shooting it as a nlg bullet which cast around 150 gr's depending on the alloy. The driving bands on the 401-145 are easy to swag down in the case and be under size.

I have shot the 401-145 SWC someone called an H&G clone of the 45 200 SWC, not really. More of a clone of the Lee 452-200 SWC.
I started shooting this with Javalina and using Unique. I liked the clean holes in targets, brother didn't like it. I quit using that mold before I started ASBB PC, and just stuck with the 401-175 TC (mine drop 180) which also prints decent targets.
I loaded the 145 in 40 S&W just like I do for the 200 SWC fo 45 acp. I lightly crimp in the center of the front driving band. I never had a problem with the feeding or throat engagement with the front edge. That is because I learned to test the chamber before setting the crimp. If seated enough to plunk I would then adjust for a slight crimp. Come to think of it, the 38-40 Vaquero with the 40 S&W cylinder really liked the SWC boolit. I may have to cast some just for the Vaquero.
