Thanks, I loaded some starters to 5 grains of 231 and the glock with the StormLake barrel functioned without a hitch, but they felt like powder puff loads. The brass was ejecting to my forehead or right in front of me instead of over my shoulder with factory loads.
So the new 8 I loaded bumped up to 5.2 grains, and wil take them down to the field and chrono them today to see where I am on speed.

But I'm liking the setup, as the fully supported rifled SL barrel will be able to go from powder puff lead loads up to .45 super hardcast loads.

How do you recommend keeping the thicker starline super brass indentified from regular .45 brass at the range?
