Reloading for .40 Glock

MG1890

OK, I like the Winchester white box 180 grain FMJ ammo. It costs .46 cents per round (with sales tax) at Wally World.

Just for plinkin', what is an economical load that will hit POI? I am assuming a plated 180 grain bullet at similar velocity.. but if I can't save a fair amount of cost, I'll just shoot the factory stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Bullet .15, primer .05 powder .03 so about a quarter each or 50% saving not counting your time. With cast bullets less than a dime.

Berry's plated 180 gr .40 is $130.81 a thousand, delivered.

I use Berry's plated 180's over 4.3 grains of Titegroup in 4 different Glocks (27, two 23's, and a 35). CCI SP primers and assorted brass.

A pound of Bullseye will load more than a 1000 rounds for less than $30, primers are less $40 per 1000. Aftermarket regular rifling barrel to use cast bullets. Should pay for itself in a couple of thousand rounds.

Be sure to use plated or jacketed bullets in the polygon Glock barrels. I use Berry's and find them to be very consistent and accurate enough for any casual purposes. I use 5 grains of HP-38 with the 180 flat nose, nice load in my Sigs, Beretta and Springfield.
