- # in their GLock. What are the facts in this? Does it apply to the .45 ACP

- I load for my sister and her husband (Glock 17 & 19). They have no
- problem with cast bullets. You can't use too light a load, though, as
- Glocks are the worst I've seen for stovepiping with light loads. As long
- as I use med to heavy loads with med to slow (for the 9mm) powders, they
- shoot just fine.

- I think they say so in the Glock manual (Ruger does not, for the handguns I
- have), but if you don't tell them, they will not know. Unless you blow
- it up they probably won't ask. And if you do blow it up with a bad
- reload, then they shouldn't have to fix it for free, IMHO.
