I finally got a chance today to shoot my reloads out of the Glock 34. These are just my thoughts so please don't bash for not having a chrony 
Again I am new to reloading, 3 months max.
50 rounds of each were loaded:
Titegroup
Berry's 124gr round nose
mixed brass
4.0-4.1 grains (previously tested 3.7grains and gun did not cycle)
COL 1.15
CCI #500
CFE Pistol
Berry's 124gr round nose
mixed brass
5.3 grains
COL 1.15
CCI #500
Both shot well from 7yrds to 10 yrds and groups were pretty tight. Less recoil versus shooting factory rounds and target acquisition was much faster because of it. I even did single hand (strong then weak) shots and again with less felt recoil, groups stayed within my expectations.
The biggest difference I noticed was during powder dispensing. My reloading setup is a Lee Classic Turret, Lee Ultimate 4 Die Setup, and Lee Pro Auto-Disk. While setting up both powders, I noticed that the CFE Pistol powder was more consistent with a .1 +/- difference versus the Titegroup at .2 +/- difference. I feel that with my powder thrower, the CFE Pistol stays more consistent, to those who have a similar setup.
I did not get a chance to determine if the CFE Pistol burned cleaner than Titegroup because I used both. However, I just loaded 100 rounds of the CFE Pistol setup and will report back on barrel cleanliness. Although I'm a clean freak, white glove cleaning after each range trip, it might not be noticeable.
I am also planning on reloading 45acp and want to use both Titegroup and CFE Pistol. Any suggestions on projectile brand (185gr/200gr) and load data for both? I've been really eyeing SWC projectiles but don't know how it will handle from a RIA 1911 Match 5". Also suggestions on 9mm projectiles for the Glock34.
Thanks in advance.
