Thanks guys. I have already compared my reloads with factory ammo, and the reloads are definitely more accurate. My purpose was to see if I should continue to search for the "magic load", or is my Glock going to be a limiting factor in improving the accuracy. I think I'm hearing that the Glock is the wrong pistol if one wants "1 ragged hole" accuracy and that 3" groups are probably as good as can be expected, and even 4 and 5 inch groups are adequate. I'm just punching paper and not competing with anybody but myself, but I do want to get the most out of the weapon and reloads that I possibly can. The 3" groups are off sandbags and at my age repeating that offhand will most likely be next to impossible. I can barely see the holes in the target from 30 feet, let alone 25 yards.
