"Normally you don't reload brass fired from a Glock factory barrel "

That's news to me! I've collected all my brass wanting to reload it someday. What to do?

Inspect it carefully. Especially if you pick up "range" brass where Glocks are in use. This is typically going to be 9mm and 40 S&W. Most resize dies can't fix the case head ballooning. The die is adjusted to just contact the shell holder on the downstroke. A set of cartridge gauges is a very good investment in quality control and safety. I have them for every caliber that I load and for which one is available. I still need to purchase one for 45-70. A perfect fit in the cylinder of my Magnum Research BFR is my current final quality control step. I can check 5 at a time with the cylinder sitting on the bench.

Auto gauges and revolver gauges
