Bullseye loads with .45 230 grain RN

[LiveLife]

I don't think the OP is asking about loads for bullseye match shooting (I am not sure if short barreled G30 would make a good bullseye match gun ) but rather trying to resolve cycling issue with "Bullseye" power.

Russell, using the same powder charge of 4.7 gr and different lengths should give you a cycling trend. If shorter lengths don't produce stovepipes, pick the length that reliably cycle the slide the most.

BTW, magazine followers/springs are in good shape?

I really not having a cycling issue either. I had one stove pipe is all. The reason I inquired is that several of the sources I noted were showing loads well over 5 grains. I was just wondering how everyone felt about loads greater than 5 grains. Since I had a stove pipe, I thought that might be a reason. sounds like no one uses Alliants max load of 5.7 with a 230 grain RN. My latest batch was 230 FMJ RN with 4.7 grains I ran out of the RMR extra thick plate 230 gr Round nose. It is meaningless to plunk test a Glock. Mine all will pass a bullet that wont even come close to fitting in the magazine.

Seems like what I can glean from the info everyone provided is that 4.7 to 5.0 grains is plenty of Bullseye, and that 1.260- 1.270 may work a little better than 1.275. again thanks for all the ideas guys! The rounds are just for shooting at paper targets to entertain myself.

Bds, I am going to take your advice. As to the Mags, they are the 2 that came with the gun so they have been used, but not all that old at all, a newer 9 round mag for concealed purposes, and a G21 with spacer that is slightly newer than the 9 round mag.
