Thank you to all of you who gave me advice on reloading.
I went back and did more research, watched more videos, read more books, and read your comments many times.
Today- i loaded 10 Berry bullets, 6.2gr HS4, and Starlight brass at a 1.15 OAL.
Shot all 10 with ZERO issues with my G19 this afternoon.
Is the next step to increase the output? Make 20-50?
Yep.
Step 1: Figure out the load (you've already done this)
Step 2: Chrono the rounds and calculate power factor (only important if you're competing so you have legal ammo)
Step 2.5: Adjust the load as needed
Step 3: Make bigger batches and shoot
If reloading is your hobby, tinker around to your heart's content. If becoming a great shooter is your hobby, set it and don't screw with it unless you have to.

I'm going to assume you meant HS-6 and probably 124 grain bullets. You could load shorter (HS-6 tends to run better at higher pressures) but you definitely need a chronograph even more for safeties sake than just power factor calculation IMHO. Other than that it's time to ramp up production.
