Decided to purchased 2500, 40 S& W, nothing special done to them. They arrived in short order , looked to be in good shape AS ALWAYS….clean, crack free. This purchase was designed to CONFRONT MY NEMESIS. 40 cal brass suffers from a condition called ‘guppy belly’ or bulged brass…. caused by unsupported chambers, as found in GLOCKS, and similar guns. GLOCK doesn’t want reloads in their guns, and that makes them happy. It doesn’t make me happy. So due to the number of GLOCKS being used on 40 S&W ammo, I must use the REDDING G-Rx Push Thru Base Sizing Die, available in steel or carbide. Get the carbide. This will save you from a gun-jam at the range, or GOD FORBID, when you really need the firearm to work. Some of the brass will be BEYOND REPAIR….. it will go through the die, but still not go through a cartridge checker. Remember – reloaders are recyclers. That’s what we do. Don’t pass up an opportunity to REUSE in order to RELOAD.
