I, like many of you have heard it up to "HERE" about how bad Glock pistols are. Well I'm no expert, but I do own three Glocks (mod 20, 21 & 23), and I'm looking at purchasing a model 33.
I'm not gonna try and push Glocks on you here, so don't worry. I just happen to like them. I would even argue that Sigs and H&K's are better, or should I say, higher quality pistols. By the way,one of each of these brands is on my "list".
Now to my point, as I've stated I'm no expert, and do not put thousands of rounds through my pistols each year. But I have started reloading ammunition for each of the calibers stated.
I use the Speer reloading manual and start at the low end of the spectrum and work my way up to one step below the max. I only reload 5 rounds for each load, checking each one for proper length and primer depth.
Then it's off to the range to "test" these rounds. In doing so I fire only one at a time, retrieve the casing, and inspect it throughly. So far so good.
I now have a working load for each caliber, and have been pressing bullets for my pistols.
Does anyone see a future problem for me, using my own hand-loads ? Keep in mind that I will not be going to the range every weekend and blasting hundreds of rounds out of these handguns. I reload mainly to stay ahead of any unseen shortage.
Any advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
