I recently acquired a G4 G34 with factory barrel and a pants load of brass. I need dies, bullets and probably powder.
What are your suggestions for plink & competition loads?

Other than behind the house with friends and family, I haven't competed before and not sure what I'll enjoy most.What type of competition?
Is PF a concern?
Got the DillonDillon 55o, 115 grain plated bullet, 3.0 gr. of BE. NOW, go wear that gun OUT!!!!!!
Extreme bullets with over 2,000 rounds per pound at 3.0.Best source/price for plated

Same here but unfortunately RMR is going all FMJ. The prices are still good but I liked the 7c 147gr 9mm bullets.For plated bullets I generally use Xtreme or RMR.
I just sent an email as to why we're not on the discount list.Blue Bullets 147gr over 3.2 grains if Titegroup. Should make minor and will be hard to beat for price/performance.
Of course, lighter bullets will be even cheaper.
I still get plated 9mm from them. They have the plated made for them somewhere else, but they make their own FMJ in house.Same here but unfortunately RMR is going all FMJ. The prices are still good but I liked the 7c 147gr 9mm bullets.
Let me know.Before you stock up, try 115g, 124g, and 147g bullets. I tend to like the heavier ones.
Also look at coated vs plated if you want to save a few bucks.
For dies, depends on your favorite brand. Some folks love Lee, I prefer RCBS for pistol. I have a Lee 4 die set on the corner of my workbench that’s about ready to slide into the trash. I’ll check caliber tonight, if it’s 9mm and you want it you can have it.
Almost a month later, no response. I bought RMR 124g.I just sent an email as to why we're not on the discount list.

Thanks! I’m off to buy powder.There are other discount codes out there. I've found their CS to be hit and miss, when I swung into the shop though they treated me like I was buying the place and I hadn't committed to buying anything. Good group of folks, but probably super busy. Usually get my orders next day, which is awesome.
My G17s shoot the Blue Bullets 135gr very well and my own 133gr bullets weight seems to be in a sweet spot. 3.4gr ClayDot, 3.5gr Bullseye, 3.6gr Cleanshot all make minor with a nice cushion. A 34 could probably do it with 0.10gr less.
I never got 147gr bullets to shoot better than just barely ok groups. 120-125gr did pretty well when I was messing with them.
95% of what goes thru mine is cast, either coated or lubed. The only copper clad bullet that stands out was Rainier 115gr HPs. I abandoned jacketed and plated for economy.
