I didn't get around to test this one with the glock

Your loads are anemic.
From another review au saw the author was using Cor-Bon +P loads rated at 1350fps and was getting 1550fps.

Thanks for the post but I wasn't reviewing ammo, just showing the velocity difference between the two barrel sizes...

Thanks for the info. Have wanted to chrono some handloads, just never got to it.

It's interesting how the bullet got heavier how it affected the velocity gain. With the 115g we are looking at 200fps, 124g go to 150fps and then the 147g were about 100fps gain.

Depends if you just want a big bang, or an accurate round that you can hit your target with. I have been reloading and shooting for 40 years and never found with either a hand gun or rifle that max loads were as accurate as slightly tamer loads.

But judging from my indoor pistol range, the max load big boom shooters that shoot dinner plate sized groups are more common then lighter load ragged hole shooters like me. Maybe the big boom will scare your target into submission...
