"Glock" brass rant!

[ducky_0811]

The glock finally listened to the masses and made a barrel with a fully supported chamber in the gen 4. Anyone who shoots a .40 cal gen 4 won't get the bulge. With that being said I too, am not a fan of glock pistols for other reasons than the chambers but this thread isn't about whether or not we like glocks.
I have reloaded glocked brass before without any special steps, and I have had zero issues thus far. I say reload them and shoot them, or get a push through die to cereal the case bulb and be done with it

Do they look like these .45acp's?

[9mmrevolver]

I shot glocks and have never seen brass look like that. That's some ****ed up brass you got there

[sunborder]

You have to remember your reloading to shoot, not shooting to reload.

Hey, speak for yourself!

What kind of gun did that to .45 ACP brass?? Even our Glock 21 at work doesn't do that; it's surprisingly kind to the brass.

The Glock bulge problem was fixed in the mid gen 2 production glocks with a change in the feed ramp and stronger thicker brass in the base by the ammunition manufactures.

And the continued Glock bulge myth continues because people go to gun shows and buy brass without looking at it.



Below is my .40 Glock gen 3 and I have never had a bulged case.



And the bulge problem is not just limited to Glocks.

I've never seen any like that .45 brass above, that's pretty excessive.

I run all my .40 and .45 through one of these. Most go through easy but some are snug, it seems to work as I've never had an issue. Of course, it's a Lee product so, like a Glock, 1/2 the people on this board will automatically dismiss it.

My G22, 3rd Gen doesn't bulge the brass either.

[Syntax Error]

If you think thats bad, try some 308 LC brass Fired from a generously chambered MG. i swear I couldnt tell if I was resizing or case forming

Nothing a Forster Co-Ax can't handle!

[Carsgunsandchics]

Sorry you had to buy .40 brass. At the Sacramento reloading club meeting we usually have people trying to give it away.

I run all my 40 brass through a Lee Bulge Buster. It's kind of a pain and it adds another step to the loading process, but I haven't had any problems with my 40 ammo not passing the case gauge since I started doing it. It not only takes care of the the bulge, it also re-sizes the case rim too.

i would gladly trade a push through sizing to trimming and deburring .223

Looks like H. titegroup over loads to me. Seen it before.

Must be eaten the wrong Olives.

I like the name G-RX

Glock medicine. LOL

I use the Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Die as a push through. With the 45 it seems my RCBS carbide sizing die resizes the brass to a smaller diameter than my Lee FCD. With 9mm I use a modified non carbide die and she'll holder to size them down to 100% reliability. I shot some 9mm today that weren't sized through my modified die. I had about 4% failure to fully seat in my Sprinfield RO. Other than that it was a good day.

[dhagerty]

those look like an Overcut loading ramp and with a hot load.

seen this a lot with some Gov't 45's

[MrElectric03]

Sucks but part of reloading and owning a .40. I run all of my .40 brass through a redding grx carbide die. Not a big deal as only put a hundred round or so through my .40 when I take it out.
