I'm relatively new to reloading and have finished just over 3000 rounds of differing calibers. I now have a bunch of 9mm cartridges to reload which have been fired from a G26 and a G19.
I have noticed that the spent cartridges have a bulge near the bottom, just above the extractor groove. The re-sizing die does not travel that far down and cannot pull hte bulge back up.
From reading infomation about this, it turns out that glock barrels do not fully support the round which causes this problem.
I have read, from another forum, that a solution is to use a case roller which re-shapes the cartridge prior to going through the reloading re-sizing die. The problem is this machine that does this is very expensive! www.casepro100.com Over $ 750 when you get the required dies.
Does anyone here reload glock fired cases with another solution? Any options would be great as one can buy lots of new rounds or prepped brass for $ 750.
Thanks
