Chris, the Glock barrels usually measure 0.4340" in the chamber and you will see that the brass can expand to fill the area.  So long as there is not a distinct line (aka SMILE) the brass should be reusable.  Understand that the reworking of the brass can make it "work harden" over time.  Pass Through sizing would be recommended to reach the areas not reached by standard sizing dies.
I utilize the LEE FCD die with the guts removed (aka bulge buster) to recondition all of my brass.  That has allowed my handloaded ammo to fit all of my various 10mm barrel chambers...

Thanks shadow. I did read your write up in the pass through sizing and I do have a lee factory carbide crimp die so I may start using that method..

An even slight bulge around the base is normal at times... ( unsure of those rounds )
as long as you don't see a "glock smile" or bulge on one side

the even bulge with be removed in normal press die, glock smile brass should go in the trash


I haven't seen any smileys but there buldge is just on one side . I was able to remove it with my lee carbide die ..

Ok so I couldn't wait for my brass to show up so I went  ahead and bought a box of federal American Eagle 180gr just to put some rounds through the g40. When picking up the empty brass I noticed that these were buldged . Is this normal even with crappy light loads ? I was able to resize them with my new lee carbide die and they look good

Reloading 10mm ammo / Any Glock G40 10mm reloaders in here ?

Hello guys!

Picked up a Glock g40 MOS the other day and I'm waiting on my dies and Starline brass to come in that I ordered . Been reloading for several decades now but never reloaded 10mm. So In the mean time what is your favorite g40 10mm reload ? List load specs and velocity if possible and what you use the load for IE hunting etc ..
