RangerTrace Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) I've read many posts and realize that there are several ways to deal with Glocked Brass. I just wanted to see some actual numbers, to help me make the right decision. Edited August 29, 2010 by SV-COP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Loaded thousands of 40's with mixed range brass, through 3 different guns, never any problems feeding, ejecting, etc. All on a RL550B using the standard Dillon dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveU Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Mine will generally fit thru a Dillon case gauge and my SS barrel, but my limited chamber is a little tighter. So I: 1) Set up 650 with Dillon die station 1, EGD/U die station 2, and lee FCD station 5. 2) Anything that doesn't pass the barrel test goes thru a single stage press with a Lee FCD with the guts taken out (push-thru die). 3) Anything that still doesn't make it gets checked with the Dillon gauge. Pass = practice ammo. Fail = pull bucket I should also add that when they don't gauge I give them a look see for case splits (more common with nickel plated cases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) I case gauge them and pull the bad apples. Actually I chamber check them. In my chamber. If they've been in there once, they should have no problem going in there again. Edited August 28, 2010 by twodownzero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I load 'em through Dillon dies until we get to the crimp die, then I run them through the Lee FCD..... Then I run the reloads through a Glock, with a stock barrel..... On the .40s, where I do run a Bar-Sto barrel in one of the guns, I case gauge all match ammo. Anything that doesn't gravity drop out of the case gauge at a 45 degree down angle, gets placed in the practice pile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too_Slow Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) You forgot to add the answer of "Have your buddy run all the brass through a CasePro first". I do the loading for both of us. Brian Edited August 28, 2010 by Too_Slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calishootr Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I just load em on the ol 550b...i think they are dillon dies??? never really had a problem with 'fat/glocked' brass even in a custom limited gun with a fairly tight chamber... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakshow10mm Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Don't use Dillon dies, but use Redding Pro Series dies and call it good. The hype around Glock brass is simply profit motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 You missed mine: throw them away. It isn't worth taking any risk with a bulged case. If I can see the bulge, it is way too large. When I sort and cull my brass, I look for the sign of the Glock and rotate the case to look for a bulge more than normal. Your poll really needs the "none of the above" selection.

sidnal Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I've had trouble w/ the Dillon dies not resizing enough for the tight chamber in my Schuman barrel. If I use the Lee U-Die it runs 100+% Also had some trouble with the .40 Dillon case gauge. Found that the EGW gauge is tighter and more consistent.

Rob Tompkins Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 A properly adjusted sizer die in Station 1 and Lee FCD in Station 5 of a progressive. Simple. I have used many times fired Glock 40 brass - no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latech15 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I load them on a 550 with a U die in the first station and a Lee FCD in the last. When loading on dillon dies the rounds would fit the dillon case gauge but not necessarily my Lone Wolf Barrel. After the u die and FCD, they all fit both. After checking every 50 or so rounds for 4000-5000 with all of them fitting perfectly, I just check a few out of every 1000 now. Having said that, I have to chime in with a little tidbit to keep the price and availability of 40 brass where it is.....Never try to reload glocked brass. Just send it all to me.

RangerTrace Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Could someone please give the model info on an single stage press that would work with the G-rx? Reliable and inexpensive if there is such a thing. Edited August 29, 2010 by SV-COP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbairborne Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Case Pro, then standard Dillon dies on my 650. Haven't had a problem since using the Case Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdwilliams Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 How do I deal with Glocked brass?? So far, only 2 have failed case gauge but they're sitting to the side so you can show me how to use my puller! LOL. Identifying BEFORE I load it would be nice though...

CocoBolo Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Could someone please give the model info on an single stage press that would work with the G-rx? Reliable and inexpensive if there is such a thing. I use this press with my Redding GRX http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=807734 I do have a case pro and 40 die for it but prefer to just leave it on 38 Super and do 40 in the GRX. I use what Henry Ford made popular, if I have a 3# coffee can full of clean brass I run them, I don't do small batches. This cut my reject rate from 10% down to near Zero. You will find a split case here and there when drop checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
