Same here. Hodgdons web site shows a max of 13.5gr max with a 180gr bullet.

Your glock takes clips?
Sorry- had to, it's a pet peeve of mine
Glocks don't have fully supported barrels, this can cause "guppy belly" or "glock belly" of brass at higher loads-- one reason I don't use pick up/range brass for my semi autos is you never know how they were loaded--- lee makes a push through die set up to "fix" the guppy belly BUT it may still cause weak spots in the brass. Always work up loads when shooting fo the "upper end"
I run 14.2gr of no 9 with 180 xtp's for a speed of almost 1400fps but I have a fully supported barrel and a heavier slide/recoil spring
I run a lower charge for my 180 gr plated "plinking bullets"-- I only run them at about 1200fps
I am going to Glockmeister today to pick up the same barrel. I think I am going to go with a new 22# spring as well. I am wanting to shoot the 200gr class bullets out of it.
Number 1 check your powder scale and make sure it's accurate if you are getting high pressure from a manual loading. Number 2 take a hard look at "Blue Dot" It's all I use for my 180gr loads, in my G20SF with a heavier 22 lbs recoil spring.
Good luck Cheers.
