Glock Belly reloading?

[at_liberty]

45 ACP runs at 21,000 PSI, 40 is at 35,000 PSI over 1/3 more pressure. To see pressure signs in a 45 you are waaaaay over max or have a head-space issue.

Or maybe a spring issue?

Usually if you are going to shoot your reloads out of the same chamber there shouldn't be an issue because that brass will form to that chamber.

"Glock belly" or "glocked" brass is a result of glocks unsupported chambers, it's what makes glocks so reliable, but the newer glocks have more of a supported chamber than the older ones

Loaded to hot.

Yes, here are some 9mm brass I picked up from a Open Glock running major 9mm loads (125gr going over 1,320 fps). That's why they are lying on the ground....



however 40S&W brass can be fixed with this Redding G-RX push thru sizer

Not referring to any picture, but, you are held hostage to the brass & it's ability to contain the tens of thousands of pounds of pressure supported or unsupported . If your brass is moving that much it's dangerous .

I always find bulged .40 brass at my local range and it all has the Glock square firing pin mark. I reload for an XD .40 and my Lee sizing die removes the bulge with normal sizing.

Ok, but that's why the guy who was shooting the Open Glock left them at the range. Pick up as many as you want.
