Bulges come from being fired in Glocks with factory barrels. Glock, in their infinite wisdom chose to make the feed ramp extend further into the chamber than most manufacturers. If you will take a glock barrel out of the weapon and drop a round into the chamber, you can see how far the feed ramp is cut into the chamber. That area becomes an un supported area of the chamber. Even though its pretty short, using brass that has been resized, when used in glocks can become dangerous. The resized brass is harder and more brittle, making it more likely to blow out when fired again in an un supported chamber. I don't currently own any Glocks, but if I did, I'd invest in an aftermarket barrel that not only had a fully supported chamber but also cut rifling rather than the polygonal bore that is standard in Glock Pistols. A recent batch of 10mm range brass that I bought had about 10% that had been bulged so hard that there was a distinct cut at the end of the bulge in the case. Those went straight into the scrap bin. I'm currently making 50 caliber swaged fmj bullets using 45ACP brass. I turn off the rim, insert a cast 45-70 bullet into the case, put a 50 cal gas check on the end and run it into the swage die. I anneal all the brass to red before swaging, but the Winchester seems to be the easiest to work in this manner.</p></blockquote><p></p>
