[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 730234, member: 15748"] D Scott, Glocks (especially the M21s) need full power loads, unless the spring has been replaced with a lighter one (which I wouldn't advise). Very soft recoiling guns, and heavy loads aren't nearly as objectionable here as they would be in an M1911. The 231 is a perfectly suitable powder choice here, but I'd recommend a slightly slower powder for full-house ammunition. Yes, you DO need to crimp 45 ACP rounds, as you do virtually all autopistol ammunition. Try the Lee Factory Crimp Die. Use that in conjunction with a chamber gage, and you can kiss malfunctions and feed failures goodbye. Mentioned this before, but if you plan on shooting lead ammunition (cast or swaged bullets), you need to replace the barrel with one that uses conventional rifling rather than the polygonal system that comes standard in Glock pistols. They seriously do not play well with lead bullets. [/QUOTE]
