I have a Glock 24, which is the .40 version of the Glock 17L. 6" barrel.
I have a 9mm conversion barrel that works great for it. But I'm having trouble with my 124 gr LRN loads with HP-38/Win 231. OAL of 1.131 ( a bit long, gonna try shortening to 1.125 to increase pressure a bit, data recommends 1.125)
I'm using 4.3 grains, which is 0.1 grains short of max load for the data I've found. I've noticed it still barely has enough energy to cycle the slide for proper ejection. I get extremely weak ejection and an occasional stove pipe. It already has a reduced recoil spring down to 11lbs.
With 4.2 gr of Unique I get better ejection and much less stove pipes. I heard with lighter bullets and lighter loads, faster burning powders should get better slide operation than slower powders. I'm experiencing the reverse effect.
Is anyone else loading for the 17L or converted 24?
