The only problems I've run into when reloading for the Glock barrel are:
1. Bare lead must be of sufficient softness to deter leading. Of all the commercial cast offerings, all would lead to some degree regardless of powder, seating depth, plunk test, bore diameter, some "expert" opinion, etc.
2. FMJ, plated, cast lead, powder coated run fine. Its the slightly loose chamber on the Glock barrel (versus chambers on aftermarket barrels) which causes extra stress on the brass and can lead to premature splits on the mouth. If you're wondering, I loose approximately 2% to splits on the Glock barrel compared to my Storm Lake barrel.
