Just got into reloading.

Need a basic recipe for my G27. Nothing fancy. I just want it to be accurate enough and go bang.

Got a good deal on some 180 gr. Hornady XTP bullets. So that is what I'll be loading first. Got my brass.

What I would like to hear is what powder I should be looking at for loading this. Also, primer suggestions as well.

I'm well aware of Glock's warning against hand loads. I do not have an unsupported chamber. So we can bypass all of that. (seems like anywhere reloading for glock is mentioned, this dead horse gets beat again).

So does anyone load for the 27? And what would your suggestion be?

A nice load load for any .40 S&W can be found in the link below.. I have loaded these using all the powders listed.. with these loads no need to worry
about barrel support as long as you use decent brass. Accurate? yes!!!!

I suggest getting a couple of reloading manuals.

Plus, you can try these pages which have loads for all calibers:

http://stevespages.com/page8a.htm

http://handloads.com/loaddata/default.asp?Caliber=9%20mm&Weight=115&type=Handgun&Order=Powder&Source=Alliant (select cailber & bullet weight at top of page.)

I also suggest check load data on various powder manufacturer pages
