.451 250 Gn. JHP in Glock 21
« on: March 19, 2013, 12:18:58 PM »
 Doing some "bucket list" house cleaning, came across 100 or so  old Hornady  .451 250 gn. JHPs.
One manual lists a swaged  lead 250 but no one lists a jacketed 250. Does anyone shot this heavy a bullet in their stock # 21 ??

I've shot 255gr cast bullets in a stock 21, but no experience with jacketed bullets that heavy in the 21.

I have put thousands of 230s through mine without a hiccup, but never any 250s. I ain't skeered of em.

Wayne, I've not; and in general find that replies based on no experience aren't very useful. BUT--here goes anyway-- 1) like others here i've shot lots of 255 cast bullets; 2) there are published data, e.g. Richard Lee, 2nd ed (with acc.#7, up to 898 fps); and 3) as long as they feed (and you keep pressure, i.e. velocity down--say 900 fps with a slow powder), go for it. One thing about Glocks is they will feed most everything, and they're pretty stout. Good luck, and be careful.
