unfy:
Actually, 8lb of Winchester 296 for magnum charges and 8lb of Alliant Unique for generics :)
Mudnrox:
I meant to be specifically asking about his setup for:
- 9 mm 124 gr CMJ bullets
- WSF powder
- Winchester primer
- for use in a Glock
Just looking for what he found to work for him, and a place to compare with on other research
Dan W:
Don't be offended, but many ( if not most ) experienced handloaders are often leery of giving exact load data information for fear that a proper load work up may be skipped by the end user.
Truly every firearm is a new and different "experiment" in ballistic wizardry, and what works in one may not be safe in another

For safety, whether starting as a new reloader or starting a new load as an experienced reloader, it's a good idea to begin the reloading work from published, tested data found in a factory reloading manual, usually published by a powder company or a reloading equipment company.
Hornady, Speer, and Lee are just a few. Many others. They only cost about $25 -30 each.
The front end of the Hornady manual gives excellent information on interior ballistics.
Lee's manual gives Lotsa loads for Lotsa different bullets in many different weights.
No single manual covers all available powders and bullet weights.
They frequently disagree between each other on loadings.
But............they all are based on loads that have been tested and re-tested in lab-controlled conditions.
Conversely, the loads posted on the internet by anonymous reloaders are potentially dangerous. No way to know if any tests have been conducted at all.
It's always a good idea to start with the lower loads and work up toward maximum.
Happy reloading.
