    9mm fired from Glock, any way to save it

    Any way to save 9mm cases fired from a Glock?
    I already know about the $650 Australian roller dies.

    I don't recall having an issue with resizing brass from a Glock 9mm using RCBS and Lee carbide sizer dies. Lee sells a crimp die that idiot proofs the crimping process(I do recall having combo seater/crimper issues a time or 2) that also has a carbide ring in it as a fail safe.

    Several places sell small base dies that knock out the bulge where Glock .40 barrels left the case unsupported, but I am thinking .40 Glocks don't have that issue any more.

    I recall dropping a factory new .40 S&W in a Gen 2 or early Gen 3 22/23 and being somewhat surprised that the online claims of how much the cartridge lolled around in the chamber were true.

    Seriously not following what the issue is here. I reload 9mm from a glock dozens of times on a XL750. Not sure what issue you have.

    Long-time reloader. The majority of my shooting is 9 mm loaded with brass that has gone through Glocks. No issues.

    Neither my Lee classic dies or Dillon Dies have any issue resizing Glock brass...


    I'm ASSUMING you're referencing the "glock bulge". If so, like others said it sorts itself out with common resizing dies. If you really want peace of mind, Lee makes the "bulge buster" die. But I've never needed it. For what it's worth I'm handloading 9mm for a Glock gen 5 as well as a 2011, so opposite ends of the spectrum and still never had an issue in either.

    There is no way to save it, but if you send the brass to me, I will use it in jewelry I sell to benefit the LBGTQ community.

    Have you tried reloading Glock-fores 9mm cases? I have no issues doing so with Hornady or RCBS dies on either a LnL or Rockchucker

    If your current sizing die won't take out the case bulge at the web, you can use an undersize die to resize the case. I bought one from EGW years ago to resize +P+ cases. https://www.egwguns.com/undersize-re...-die-9mm-luger

    If you check a group of resized cases with a case gauge and they pass, you could still see bulge at the case web after seating a bullet. The issue is usually resolved by changing bullet seating depth.

    No issue unless there's a problem with the die you have or the chamber in your pistol.

    No idea what the OP is talking about.

    Been reloading 9mm and .40 out of Glocks for 15 years now.....thousands of rounds. Never a problem.

    RCBS carbide 3-die sets here.
