Reloading glock brass

Thanks for the replys. Do I understand correctly that some just use rcbs dies without doing anything else. Will be using them in 1911

I have loaded tens of thousands of 9mm with a set of Lee carbide dies. A lot of my range brass is from Glocks with the distinctive square primer mark. The "glocked" brass idea is more hype than reality in my experience, and if it ever exists is far more likely to happen in .40 rather than 9mm or 45 ACP. Personally I have only seen it in 357 sig brass. My solution to that was to put the damaged brass into the scrap bucket.

If you really want to know if you will have a problem, get a chambering gage. EGW makes a nice one that covers four cartridges. http://www.egwguns.com/index.php?p=product&id=843

For $20 you will know if you have a problem.
This basically echo my own experience. Use the same Lee dies and have sized and fired tens of thousands of them with no problem. I am a careful reloader and I put ALL my loaded rounds through a case gage and I have seen ones that do not quite fit in but when I check those in the barrel/chamber of my XDm pistol and only remember maybe one that I had to junk.

Unless you are picking up brass from rounds that are loaded super hot, this is a non-issue. You are more likely to have primers falling out of loose primer pockets than bulged Glock cases....
Same boat for me too. Lee carbide in a Dillion 550. 9mm and .45. Thousands and thousands of 9mm.
