I want to start loading for my daughter's Glock 22, which is on the way.
My choice of powders are: Titegroup and International Clays. Bullets are 180gr AIM.
I am looking at PF 128.
Can you share your knowledge with me.

Thankis
 
I use 6 grs of Win 231 with a 155gr FMJ. Glocks need jacketed ammo. The 180 grs are pushing it for a female shooter.
However, you can make some light loads out of it. Try reading this article on light recoil loads.

The only safe loads (for someone else) i recommend are factory. Especially, if you're using a progressive reloader. I've seen so many bullets stuck down barrels and a new shooter might rack another behind it.
 
3.8 grains Titegroup with a 180 grain cast bullet runs between 830-850 fps consistent in my M&P. It's a gentle load (I call it my sissy load)and you're back on target quick. It is slightly below the starting load listed at Hodgdons for a jacketed bullet, but it works for me. Use at your own risk disclaimer.;)
 
I will go with 3.4 TG as a starting load over AIM 180gr and see what PF will I produce.

Any cycling issues with low loads?

Thanks
