The best powder checker is your eyes~ Mechanical and digital devices can fail, but your eyes if you have good eyesight that can save you a bunch of headaches. What leads to charge or overcharged loads is usually carelessness on the reloader's part. If you are meticulous, don't rush, and take your time, most issues are avoided~

Get a Rollsizer and "glock bulge" is a none issue!

It leads to problems because reloaders either make mistakes by overcharging their loads, which can lead to many issues. However, most quality 2011 makers make good firearms, and at the end of the day, it's the responsibility of the user to take care of his open platform and ammo. Some like to reuse brass, others like brand-new brass. Personally, I've never had any issues using once-fired brass. None of my open guns have malfunctioned, broken, etc. Many shooters usually have a "backup" gun, but it's not truly needed if you're not a serious competitor.

This forum came highly recommended, looking forward to learning, contributing, and grow as a competitive shooter~
