Is 7.0 gr the absolute minimum?  Would like to make sure that I'm not 
referred to as "Lefty" after trying this, as the Glock has less than total 
support for the case head.

If you ever do the pager execution, please videotape it--it would provide a 
needed morale boost  for us poor saps who wear one all the time. :^)

Had feed problems with over-length (1.138) rounds in my Glock, but, then 
again, that was with stubby 180gr lead bullets.  The 135gr Noslers might not 
exhibit this trait, as the hollowpoint's much smaller than the flat nose of 
the 180's.

Naw, I like the shape of my Glock--don't want to do any unintentional 
"modifications" with a very overpressure round.
Later,
Brian.
