What weight spring do you have in the G20?

This is the Factory Buffalo Bore as listed and test from this Pull-down with the 9.0 grains of BE-86 from the S&W1006 and Glock 20SF.
I actually forgot to test the handloads yesterday as I started loosing the evening sun...

Consistency with measures of the BE-86 has been great in my loadings with it.  Now I need to up my own game with this powder, it is why I waited to find and bought the 8lb jug!   

Shadow, I was torn as I've been using a lot of Bullseye for 9mm 115gr fmj's. I was at the sportsman den and they had both Bullseye and BE-86. I checked with the lady at the counter and both were the same price, $124.99 for 8#. I said to hell with the bullseye and walked out with the BE-86! lol

Best part is, it's a large gun store, with a very small reloading section, so a lot of people don't go there for the powder and primers thankfully! The Hodgdon offerings they had HP-38/WIN231 Titegroup/CFE pistol, Autocomp was all around $145-$159. Then looking online, seemed pretty good deal for the BE-86

I liked the data for BE-86 from the get go, but the more I use it the more I like this powder even more.  I originally purchased it as a "what if SHTF", where it would bring a good balance of performance and little goes a long ways economics for my loading needs.  Be a flash suppressed powder also helps.
