Glock 29 carry question ?

[cwall64]

Do you reload the ones that you shoot in the stock barrel ? Do they give you any problem when re sizing ?

Yes, I do.  The below loads clocked 1298 fps out of the G20, KKM barrel, and 24 lbs RSA on a CE Chrony at 10 ft.

I tend to pass them all through a Redding G-RX die - I do not think it is needed on either, just my OCD...  I can tell a difference when running through the die, 29s take a tad move effort, KKMs really do not take any.

These were with Accurate max load on their website for #9 and 180 grain Hornady HAPs (Hornady says use XTP data) of 13.5 grains.  I know that Hornady #9 has higher load data, but these were rather stout.  The 29s are measuring around 0.432 - 0.433 (majority measured were 0.4325), the ones in the 20 w/KKM are measuring 0.428 on pretty much all of them.  This was new Starline brass that had already had two other max loads on them with BE-86 and Longshot - so 3rd loading.

Wow , Thank you for all the information .    Is the Redding G-RX die the one they call the bulge buster ?

Similar, Lee makes the Bulge buster and it is a lot less expensive than the Redding product...  Using the pass-through die gives me the chance to inspect each piece of brass, after I do that sizing they go directly into the hopper on my Dillon 650 and I load from there.  I like the extra step of touching all the brass as i mentioned it allows me to inspect it closely.

Thank you , Do you think the Lee Die will do as good of a job as the Redding G-RX Die ?

I would imagine that it works just as good if not better!  I know there are several on the forum that love the Lee die.

I have the GRX carbide version. It works real good. Don't have the Lee. Carbide equals no lube. Pretty sure you have to use lube with the Lee.

The Lee FCD/Bulge Buster is carbide. No lube.

 I ordered the Lee BB , to resize my brass  , and I think I will use my KKM Barrel for practice at the range .  I will just change the barrel for when I carry . I think that will help give my brass a longer life .   I hope I will never have to run any rounds through the stock Glock Barrel .

Thanks for updating my misinformation.

Do you have the Lee FCD? The Bulge Buster kit is not caliber-specific, and does not include the die to perform sizing. The FCD is required for sizing, and the kit fits with it to perform pass-through sizing duties. Also note, traditional case sizing with your sizing die is still necessary.

  Thank you for pointing that out .   Yes I do have the Lee FCDs for the .40 / 10mm , and the FCD for the 9mm Luger .  I have the Lee 4 Die sets for each Which I have mounted in the Dillon 650 Tool Heads .   I also ordered an extra FCD for each so I don't have to remove the FCDs from the Tool Heads for the BB .  The FCDs were only 14.95 each on EBay .
