Redding push through die?

[what2be]

Has anyone seen or used the new Redding push through sizing die for the .40?

Is it true what they claim about .40 s&w having a tendency to bulge?
Are any of the dillion .40 dies a full size resize die?

It's used to resize cases that have been fired in Glock pistols. It's not specific to the 40S&W case, it's particular to the Glock.

Interesting, I guess this is one more reason fore me to get a different barrel for my glock 23.

That is indeed interesting. Can someone please explain why glock does that to the cartridge, and is different than any other .40 handgun on the planet?

I allready didnt care for Glock, thats just one more thing to add to the list I guess.

So if someone is shooting glock, its pretty much mandatory to have to do a full resize of the cartridge when reloading? Can you actually walk around the range and see the difference or is it so subtle you cant tell until you go to resize it?

The Glock has a very sloppy chamber because they tout it as able to feed and fire anyhing. It's made to function under any conditions, they don't want you to use reloaded ammo.

Here's a Glock chamber in the middle. Notice how deep the cut for the feedramp goes and how wide the chamber is compard to other maker's barrels?

HOLY CRAP, you aint kidding. WOW. Never knew this, thanks for the enlightenment.

Ya learn something new every day!

Im amazed they get any accuracy at all with that wide of a chamber. You would think that would have a huge impact on accuracy. But then again, ive never shot a glock, just handled them in person, so I cant say how accurate they are at all.

PS< are all the glock calibers that way or just their .40's?
