Hey all.
I've been reloading for a while now and have prided myself on safety that begins and ends with a rigorous(some would say bordering on ridiculous)quality control /inspection process.
After working up several dependable and accurate loads for my XD9 and 1911, I bought my first .40 S&W.
Well, I started reading and quickly came across the "glock bulge" subject in my research.
Both, my S&W 4006 and to a lesser extent my Beretta mod.96 leave a bulge in the brass.
I have acquired a Lee single stage "O" frame and Lee's factory crimp die/bulge buster kit. The once bulged brass comes out LOOKING like new.
My question is this...
Once bulged and then fully resized to factory specs, how durable is that 40 S&W case in the long run?
How many reloads are you getting out of your .40 S&W brass??
