I'm not complaining,
I decided to take a stab at reloading .40 caliber rounds and was surprised that the bulge from my glock fired brass was almost undetectable without close inspection. This is far less dramatic than what some posted images show. I used a lee carbide resizing die and checked all cases with guage. Every one slide in and out without hesitation. The brass that was fired through the glock did take only a little more pressure on the down stroke but this was barely noticable. I was expecting to use a disassembled crimp die to get rid of the bulge but the brass came out in great shape. Is this something that varies in models and is there any reason to deglock on brass with a minor bulge?
