I ask because from my studies, I don't think the buldged stuff is from a Glock chamber.

You can tell if the brass is fired from a Glock by looking at the primer. If it has a dot indentation it was not fired by a Glock. If the primer has a line in it a Glock fired it.

I didn't say that because I don't "for sure" know if GLOCK is the only pistol using a bladed type firing pin.

I have noticed a lot of the problem brass was Winchester or PAC. Next time I load 40 I'll check primers for the "Glock rectangle" to see if I have another pattern.

I am was surfing and found this forum and thought I would chime in. I shoot Sigs....Now before I get run out of town on a rail, I have been reloading for many years and went over the "glock" bulge issue first hand a few years back. I reload for myself and a friend (who is Glock only) and found the bulge to be an issue. I get all my brass from a police range and know for a fact that 99% of that is fired from Glocks. In the beginning I did not use the bulge buster or the redding Grx and it was O.K most of the time, however there were several occasions of failure to feed in both Sig and Glock, they were not chambering all the way. Since using the Redding Grx that has gone to no failure to feed.
When the entire case is pushed through the die it sizes all the way to the base (base is now .420 my books give .424 as max at the base). That gives me confidence in my brass with out a question. There is one caution with using the push through dies, measure your cases after decaping/size and the push through. In many cases the brass becomes longer on one side, the bulge side. It so happens that sometimes one side of the case is .848 and the other side is .853 or longer, .851 is too long! I will set my calipers to .849, and if the brass passes through I'm good to go, if not then trim or toss.

I ran every piece of clean 40 brass I had through my redding resize/decap die. Got about 5% with this "ridge". All sorts PAC, Winchester, and Blazer all were run through my 23 gen4 with the standard barrel. I guess it's time for a LWD stock length barrel for my 23... On second thought there is not that much difference!!!

I just recently reloaded 1k of 40 s&w and 1k of 10mm using only Dillon dies. I only use aftermarket barrels so that may be the reason but I have had absolutely no problems and no "bulge " . I load fairly warm loads using 180 gr. Raineers and Blue Dot for both calibers.

.40 in brass and 10 mm in nickel

Looks good! I load 500 at a time usually. I never had this prob until that brass that was given to me. I load with 5.3gr bullseye and a zero180's.

How along does it take to load 1,000 40s&w?
