Hey guys, I've got my Glock 21 here, and I'm looking to throw an extended length barrel in the gun; Either the LWD 6" barrel, or the LWD 6.61" barrel, depending on if you guys think the 6.61" would be better. Now, I'm looking at using either the Buffalo Bore 230grn FMJ-FN or the Buffalo Bore 255 Hard Cast FN. BB states that out of a 5" barrel, the 230grn was moving at 981fps and the 255grn was moving at 960fps. Can anyone tell me about how those two loads would act in a 6" barrel, instead of the 5"? Would the 6.61" make a big difference over the 6"? This is intended for the woods, with black bears being the largest possible threat.
Also, I don't handload now, so BB seems like the best bet, but if anyone else knows of a good stout load, I'm all ears.
Thanks for any input. And please refrain from suggesting any other caliber/firearm. Obviously .45 ACP isn't ideal, and I'm considering several options now, but this thread is specifically to learn about this one. Thanks again!
