I'm thinking of the G20 but I would reload only for it.

I have a Glock 34 in 9mm that will shoot factory all day with no problems but with any reload I put in it, it will FTF. Anyone reload on here and have a bullet they like that
feeds reliably through the G20??? Thx in advance.
I have a Gen 3 G20SF with the factory barrels and an early Lone Wolf barrels made by Dasan in South Korea. I have fired many reloads through both barrels. I first got the aftermarket barrel because I thought that you couldn't shoot lead bullets out of a Polygonal rifled barrel. What I didn't understand was that the only reason Glock recommends against it is because Glock knows that so many Glock owners are Lazy bums who never clean their guns and lead can build up in polygonal rifling causing and overpressure situation.

But since I never shoot any gun without cleaning it afterwards and have been casting bullets for many years and know how to prevent barrel leading through the use of proper lubes, alloys, and correct diameter projectiles, I've fired cast bullet through both barrels with no problems including many commercially cast bullets. I prefer heavy for caliber bullets and have never shot anything lighter that 180 grains out of the 10mm and never anything ligher than 165 grains out of the 40. One thing I like about 180 grains is that its a good bullet weight for both cartridges.

I stopped casting bullets a few years ago and never did get a 180 grain flatnose mold for the 10mm, but one of the companies I bought a lot of cast and polymer coated bullets from was Badman bullets in both 200 and 180 grains. They are excellent bullets with good prices. The only jacketed bullets I've ever used were Hornady 180 and 200 grain XTP's and 180 grain Gold dots. My favorite powders are AA7, Longshot, and especially AA9 which is also excellent for 357, 41, 44 mag and Ruger-only 45 Colt. Both AA7 and AA9 are flash suppressed powders and seem to have less muzzle blast than any other powders in the same burn rate range. AA7 is similar in burn rate to Blue Dot and AA9 is very close to Alliant 2400.

Edit: Here is a link to Badman Bullets. Good quality, good prices.
