    RCBS Pistol dies and Glock bulge

    Will the standard RCBS carbide sizer die remove the Glock bulge that I hear about?

    The only die I know of is the Redding G-RX set. But it's only made for 40 S&W and is needed in addition to a normal sizing die. Anything else wont go all the way to the base.

    The buldge weakens the case. Don't risk it. Toss them and upgrade your barrel imo.

    I don’t own a glock. I was just curious because I ordered a bunch of once fired brass. I was just wanting to know if the RCBS sizer die would eliminate the bulge in any cases if the were once fired from a glock.

    From what I've seen the buldge brass is getting rare. You will still see them, but they are not as bad. That being said just toss them to be safe. You don't want a kaboom. Good luck and be safe.

    There is a good reason why that brass looks like that. It is one of many reasons that I own,carry,and shoot Glocks,almost exclusively.
    It will reload without a problem. --- SAWMAN

    BUT . . . the Wolf or Glockmeister bbls will take care of the bulge if you prefer not to have it.
    The mentioned bbls WILL make your brass last longer also. ---- SAWMAN

    The carbide G-RX die is worth it's weight in gold if you are loading .40 or 10mm for a match barrel. Otherwise you might look at the Lee die that has a few thousandths ground off the base.
