It's not a gimmick, and it's not paranoia. It's a safety issue that needs to be addressed, trimming cases is a safety issue as well, primarily for you rifle shooters.

“Detached Reflection Cannot Be Demanded in the Presence of an Uplifted Knife” ~ Brown v. United States (1921)
The brass I just shot had minor bulging. I'm sure a sizing die would put it back into shape. I'm just reluctant to take on another caliber if it's complicated. Especially pistol. Thanks for the replies.

That's troubling. Not supposed to happen. The bulge is due to the lack of chamber support where the feed ramp is. Glock resolved the issue in gen 3.
Perhaps PMC bronze is loaded warm? Or, very unlikely, the barrel has been replaced with a gen 2 barrel?
Could you post a picture of the bulged brass? Just curious.

No bulge. The barrel is gen3 Glock OEM. Your load has higher muzzle energy. Hard to say whether it has much higher pressure, as the powder is unknown. I'm loading with fast burning titegroup. Going to your speed would raise the pressure by about 10%, which could be very close to saami limit.
As I suggested, you may want to try an after-market barrel. They advertise no bulge and conventional riflings.

They may not be full power with optimal powder. I just happen to have titegroup, which is not the best for the caliber. The loads I have are about 10-20% below max pressure. Good enough for me.
