Thanks for the replies, I'am contemplating a new powder unfortunatly my local gunshop doesnt carry much powder and selection is limited.
Also how well does powder hold up to storage?? I know they have a few cans that look rather old, probley older than I am.

As for lowering the charge i was getting decent accuracy out of one of the lighter loads but recoil was that of a 9mm or less. As that was noted in my log after shooting my G17, with factory ammo. It also wasnt a very reliable round as I had several FTE, out of the 14 rounds that were loaded at lower charges. Would the increased pressure from lowering my oal help in this area at all??

4.8grs SR7625
WLP
230gr LRN
O.F.B
oal 1.250"
