Used Glock issue (brass dented)

[Kestryll]

Well it seems you are fairly dense.:

Well since you want to be an ahole about it,

It looks like you're learning curve is a bit of a flat line.

When you return I suggest reading the rules.

What the OP pictured is commonly called a "port ding". It is where the case mouth clipped the ejection port on the way out of the pistol and got a little ding. No Biggy.

If you reload it will disappear during resizing/expanding. If you don't reload it's certainly of no consequence. Literally every stock mil-spec 1911 and 1911a1 I've ever shot leaves this mark on cases. That's why fellas lowered the port and beveled their slides first thing when buying one.

No, it would not. The breech face prevents that. That's why flattened primers, not blown primers, are a recognized sign of excessive pressure.

Note the rectangle where the primer flowed into the firing pin depression, as well as the narrowing of the joint between the case and the primer, easily distinguishable from the other case.

Stop digging.

Thanks, Citadelgrad. I could have expanded on what I wrote initially and possibly negated the need for you to bother doing it, but I thought it was fairly obvious! But then again, there are those who see what they want and not what exists. Thanks for filing in the blanks.

especially when combined with (incompletely) resized brass and tired recoil springs. .40 has been the worst, and caused blowouts in the area above the ramp.

The generous radius in the Dillon dies can allow the part of the bulge to stay. Other dies can size farther down the case, and this is a good thing.

I will agree with eaglemike here. ^^^ I have a dedicated Dillon for .40/10MM and way back in 1993 ish, the Glock 22 and 20 (.40 and 10Mm) had terrible case support (in my opinion) and was a small problem with especially reloaded brass.

Over the years, Glock has increased the case support in the factory barrels at the 6 o'clock position. Now it's a non issue....

BUT......I will second Bill Steele's endorsement of the Redding GR-X carbide full length resizing die. Yeah, its a bit expensive but it fixes the brass like you can't believe and assures every case will run thru your guns.

It's really a 'must have' if you're going to run and reload .40 or 10.

Especially if you use an aftermarket barrel.....which is about .007 thousandths tighter than a Glock factory barrel. Without proper resizing the case will get stuck about half way.....haha. Not funny....

Here it is. Yes, they have a non-carbide version for less money but I use carbide only.

Good luck

You can also use the Lee Bulge Buster kit with their factory crimp die if you want to save a little money on the GR-X.

There used to be an old saying, "when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.."

My new saying is, "when the last informed shooter gets fed up setting the record straight from all the trolls, only trolls will be on Calguns.."

Close to the edge here brother.

I am so using this.

So I'm having the same issue with my G19 but, with stove pipes occasionally. OP, did changing the recoil spring work for you? I was thinking the extractor but, nothing looks wrong with it.

[ltcash]

Definitely the recoil spring. Get a factory spring. The one in there may be too strong. The slide isn't back long enough for the casing to clear.

The bulge caused by the partially unsupported chamber makes reloading dangerous.

Well that's news to tens of thousands of re-loaders around the world.

Complete and utter nonsense.

LEE does sell a BULGE buster die for that purpose

[ducitis]

gun could be a lemon with everything as the issue from tolerances, to extractor to recoil spring, and at worst all at the same time.

I think to solve your problem is to go back in time and ask the seller.. "WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT?

Glock fanbois are so brand blind that things like this are acceptable and "common" .....give me a break and face the facts that your Glock just isn't anything special at all.

You can always tell an insecure guy, never passes a chance to get a dig in.

You know nothing about how "common" this is, or even what is causing it. You're just happy that it appears to validate your worldview.

Go ahead, call me a fanboy, then I will tell you what I own. Then you will look even more foolish.

[RR.44]

I don't make excuses for what I own, if it works I keep it, if it has issues I get rid of it, call me foolish if you must to make yourself feel better, but I won't make an excuse for what I have should it not perform.
