I've read, a lot, but on the internet, that the .40 case is already borderline as far as safe case pressure goes, and I know nothing about your Glock 23, but you may wanna investigate just how much the chamber is supported in your pistol, as it may go boom...
again, I'm not terribly familiar with the .40, or Glocks, but I've read the same thing a few times, so its possible theres some truth to it, and I'd feel like an ass if your gun blew up in your face and I did'nt mention this...
hopefully someone more knowledgeable about glocks and the .40 will pipe up and either validate my points, or call me a useless son of a bitch  |
Get yourself a loading book, if you don't already have one. Some people might tell you that the max load in these books is actually lower than what the max load really is.
Bullshit, that is stupidity to be honest with you. When you shoot, look at your primers, if the primer is no longer round on its edges, your shooting way too hot, the pressure inside the brass is actually pushing the primer back and around the firing pin. You should not have a raised lip around the crater that the firing pin makes either, too much pressure causing the firing pin excessive abuse.
Most people I know, dont buy guys so they can replace them 10 years later. You can in fact wear out a guns riflings by shooting too hot of a load.
