Best "De-Glocking" solution

1) every gun comes with an excellent case gage.
2) If your sizing die pushes a "bulge" down and forms are raised ridge, that case may not chamber. Also, that brass came from somewhere.
3) If you can easily see a case bulge, just accept that the case is ruined. Crush the case mouth and toss
4) The Lee bulge buster with the Lee FCD die body works great. I think it might be even better if it had a longer case pusher so you could feed the cases into the die head first
5) Best dies I have found for sizing on a progressive press are Hornady's New Dimension. They go down further and the insert (TiN?) makes sizing much easier than a plain carbide insert.
6) The Redding tool is only for .40. With the Lee kit, most all rimless semi-auto rounds can be de-bulged. For 9x19 and 9x21, I use the Lee 9mm Mak FCD.
7) Don't complicate reloading more than needed. A case gage is just another unnecessary tool, since the gun's barrel works so well, but it will tell you if your die set-up has a problem. However, if you like the idea of a case gage, go for it. It won't break the family budget.Comment
