Re: RCBS Rockchucker vs Special5 press
dbach,
Curious as to what Gen Glock you're shooting, and aftermarket or factory barrel? My .40 Glocks do not bulge the brass with major PF loads with either factory or the Lone Wolf barrels. The...

Re: 40 s&w reloading
If they chamber ok, they'll be fine. If you'll seat and crimp as separate operations you'll likely see most of the bulge go away. I use the Lee Factory Crimp Die on all my pistol cartridges for the...

One of my presses is a Load Master. I've had it for 10yrs or so. I use it to load my high volume pistol ammo, 9mm/.40./45. The press is not for everyone. You must take the time to understand how the...

Re: Lee Bulge Remover
Back in the late 80s early 90s I used to see quite a bit of "Glock Belly" on .40 S&W cases. After the Gen 3 Glocks came out it virtually went away. I shoot a lot of .40 in a "Limited" gun making...
